I Disassemble an Airplane Fuselage - and Nearly Drop It!
The disassembly begins after copious amounts of match drilling an note taking. A near calamitous disassembly shakes me a little bit. Then I spend the better part of two days turning even more of my garage into a spray booth for the longerons. We're nearly to the point of putting this bad chicken together for real, but still have some work to do.
