Cut the fuselage sides from sheet metal using the edge of a sheet as a straightedge. I drilled all the holes with the two sides clecoed to each other and the table.
Cut the inspection holes with the fly cutter on my drill press. I was pretty careful to get everything clamped down well. The fly cutter occasionally stalls, but I found that if I raise the cutter up and down slightly while cutting, it gives the cutter a chance to return to speed before cutting again. This seemed to help and it never stalled again.
I also started cutting the longerons. These are simple cuts, just on really long pieces.
