Fuselage Begins

It’s so nice to be doing things that are not wings.  It appears that one starts building the fuselage from the middle (wing spar center section) outward.  So we did things like drill landing gear mounts today.  Landing gear sounds like a thing planes have.  Wings probably used to, but I’m so over that.

Annoying fact: a #10 countersink bit is the wrong tool to countersink for a #10 screw.  You need a #12 countersink for that.  Thanks, Cleveland, for dorking up our tool kit…  And it took a few years for us to notice.  Fortunately, no airplane parts were harmed by this mistake.  In fact, it was a mistake-free day.  As far as we know.
