Started working on the baggage bulkhead. First I trimmed the F652 top bulkhead per plan, then drilled pilot holes on the top bulkhead. Even I was very careful about measuring the dimensions, I still made a mistake on the top two holes at the center. These two holes are not symmetric, when I measured and marked the locations for the these two holes, I forgot that I was marking on the back side of the bulkhead, so these two holes are shifted one inch to the right. No big deal, I redrilled the corret holes. It should be ok to leave these two hole open because the load the bulkhead won't be hight. But I will fill them using JB weld. After paint, no one will know.
