Began securing turtledeck skin by pilot drilling left side (every other hole). Repeated the same process on the right side. Will finish pilot drilling sides after formers are installed. Following B-Model plans. Located former #5 by marking centerline along top and front side of former and pilot drilling top center hole in former. Located, pilot drilled, and clecoed former to turtledeck skin alternating left and right and working top to bottom. Once former was secured to turtledeck skin, aligned former #5 to aft angle and pilot drilled into place. Checked alignment of turtledeck skin to fuselage and seemed in order. Marked location of aft clip on former, removed former from fuselage and pilot drilled aft clip into place. Reassembled former #5 to fuselage and turtledeck skin and used 90 degree drill to pilot drill aft clip to skin splice channel. Could only reach lower 3 holes so will need to pilot drill final hole during disassembly.
