Decided to use Rust-Oleum painter's touch satin granite rattle can for interior paint. So I cleaned, primed, and painted the left side skin. I like the finish, just hope it will hold up well in the next year or so when I work on the system. We will see.
Took the center fuselage off. I forgot to cut the snap bushing open on two of the baggage rib rear flange, so that's the first thing I did. Then I dimpled the double row holes to aft fuselage.
F706 bulkhead was riveted to aft fuselage, now I had to drill all 8 rivets (luckly I didn't rivet all of them before I realized that these rivets should not have been set). Using a sharp drill bit, all rivets are drilled out perfectly. No enlarged holes.
Finding a small chunk of time, I have the F715 end seat ribs deburred, cleaned and primed.
Deburred the F704 vertical flanges
Dimpled the bottom skin holes for the end seat ribs
