The cabin
8/3 The bottom of the cabin/cockpit concists of baffles, I think thats the correct english word.
Their job is to strengthen the fuselage and also to support the wings. They are, of course, relatively heawy
compared to the things we have dealt with so far.
I know it can be difficult to visualize it, but try to imagine that they are standing up vertically in a line
and that thecabinfloor is riveted on top of them. It is the same principle of a big airliner. (Almost)
We have already primed two of them, number one is already done except for two screws that have to be
countersunk. We havn't reciewed the tool for it yet.

8/3 The second one is being riveted, I quess my dad will finish it tonight.

8/3 The third baffle is glecoed together. I will drill it tomorrow and also get it primed and riveted
tomorrow.
18/3 The rear end of the cabinfloor is done, at least as done as we can make it before assembling the
fuselage. At a later point we will of course have to put seats etc on it too.
2/4 The centersection of the midfuselage is taking shape.
