working to get the fuselage skins to fit. For awhile I was trying to force the skin to fit onto the bulkheads, but now I'm taking a different approach. I'm believing the skin knows where it needs to be, and I am adjusting the bulkheads to fit inside the skin. In some cases this meant just adjusting individual tabs, and in other cases it meant detaching the bulkhead sides from the bulkhead bottom so the bottom could settle into its proper position. While this sounds extreme, it is actually working out very well. I also drilled out some rivets in a longeron splice. This is so I can use the same rivet for skin attachment as well as the splice.
