There are still lots of small tasks to be done before joining the center and aft fuselage together. I trimmed the longerons to length, and trimmed the end per plan. Then I used the upper deck as a template to mark the slot area on the longerons. Also, I had to enlarge the slots on bulkheads so the longerons can slide in freely. After all these, I then slide the longerons onto aft fuselage. The fit is pretty good. 

I then started drilling the F715 end seat rib. I only get the left side done before calling it a day.
