Mine is 8' long and about 2' wide. I put a small section of plywood on each end to give a little more room on the front end, width wise. I have 2 of those tables and also have 4X8 sheets of plywood to put on top, for a larger surface if needed, but I think I am past needing the wider surface. But when I put the two fuselage sections together, then I will need both the tables at their 2' wide configuration.

I just need to get these wings finished and down to the hangar to have enough room to do that, when the time comes.

I hope to finish countersinking the longerons tomorrow, and get started setting the skins on the front fuselage.

Daniel - trying to figure out my build space, about how big a work table is needed to build that rear fuse?

I need to amend my previous reply. I had not considered that I already had many clecos being used on the two wings, where it had to be left un-finished, waiting for the fuel tanks. I took most of those from the wings and they were enough for me to complete what I could on the TC.

TC is now just waiting for a few parts, so until those arrive, I will move on to the Forward Fuselage. Thanks to SPA for bringing this to me at Barnwell. I did not ask, they just did it and I think it was very thoughtful of them to do so.

I don't know how many #40 that I have because RVs are built mostly with #40 and I have a lot of RV friends who have finished their planes. I think I have about 100 #30 and that was not enough to do all the up-drilling, so much of that will have to be done on Tuesday when my order for 50 more #30 arrives. I think you could juggle them around, but I am a bit paranoid about everything not being totally locked down when the drilling starts. I like to have a cleco in at least every other hole.

Looks good Dan, was 100 #30 and 100 #40 clecos enough to put that thing together?
