3.5 hrs. on the center side skins.

Printed out various installation and maintenance manuals.  Time to get organized!

In the binders and ready at hand.

I saw that some people had done this bend at the bottom of the center skins while off the plane, but I managed to get it to bend while on.  There are two bends to do, in the back of the center skin and in front of the spar.

Slowly bending it...  I used a wood block to apply pressure to get it to bend.

The front bend was harder.

This section was tough...  Kept working it though and it finally was bent.

Now that I knew where the bends were I decided to bend the right side skin while off the plane.  Much easier....

On it goes...

Ran out of cleco's before completing the right side.

Inside view.  Tomorrow I start riveting both sides on.
