September was always a busy month with EAA business and other
fly-ins, but I did get the jig changed over for the rest of the fuselage. It suddenly dawned on me that I didn't really have to flip the entire jig since I had reskinned the top side for my new plans anyway. I simply pulled up the thin pressboard skins and laid down a fresh layer of pressboard. After spending a few days laying out the jig and nailing down the tubing guides, I was ready to go. The fuselage sides came down off the wall and were clamped solidly vertical to the jig. Lined the sides up carefully. Decided to make a vertical jig to hold the sides squarely rather than cross-bracing the longerons.
