Tape time!

I have gone through 2-3 of rolls of duct-tape working on this project. Here I put a strip of duct-type on the second bulkhead in a vertical position, making sure to line up the skin holes with the J-Stringer line. Then I put a long strip of tape over the flange of the J-Stringer to help hold it against the skin. Then I started drilling the holes from fore to aft in every 5th hole. The tape was loose enough to allow me to shift things a little to get the J-String lined up. Before I drilled, I looked over the skin to make sure that my fingers were spread out with the hole to be drilled between them. I'm not going to drill them fingers! Between the pressure of my fingers and the duct tape, the holes were faily easy to drill.
