Positioned the center and tail sections on the sawhorses

These sections don't get clecoed together yet. The longerons have to get put in first. You'll notice that I added a strip of 3/8" plywood to the top ofthe tail section sawhorses. That's because I'm going to put a small sheet of plywood on top of the center section sawhorses later. There's something about the section barely sitting on two sawhorses that scares the hell out of me.
Update - 1/27/2009: Turns out the plywood was not a good idea after all. It was obvious to me that putting the plywood under the center section for stability was going to prevent me from getting to the interior from "down under". So I removed the plywood and the spacers from the tops of the rear sawhorses so everything would sit level.
