Take a deep breath and set it on the fuselage.

Do they hit the marks on the longeron? Yes!

Is it level....take a deep breath:



YES! Woohoo! But wait..

It it centered....



Dead on the friggin' money.

I'm pretty jazzed and rivet in the bottom gussets no problem. Hey, I'm a pro at them now!



Rush up the the airplane and put it on for a final test fit. By now the work area is a mess of air hoses, extension cords, blocks of wood, filings, and rivet nails. I bump the fuselage and laugh.

Until I see the darned thing is off level.



Many, many bad words. It doesn't make sense.

Then I see one of my fuselage leveling blocks got pushed out when I bumped it. Before I start finding a dog to kick, lemme check something....

I start to laugh - the fuselage is off level.



And it's off level precisely the same amount as the rear cabane.

(cut and paste top over bottom)



So all's right with the world again, and as the sun is setting it's time to go inside.

So this is how far I am in the building process - too much, or should I keep adding to this as I go on through the process?
