Hi Fred,

the Aft fuse gets joined to the center fuse soon, and the side skins go on. This is when you match drill F706. If you go ahead and match drill/dimple F706 now, it will be difficult to get a good aft/ center fuse alignment.

You will find that you can get at F706 to dimple easy after you remove the joined sections later on.

much!
