Not much to report today: I continued fitting the 18x18 fuselage longerons. The only noteworthy point at this stage is that I temporarily removed bulkhead C8. Trial-fitting the longerons with C8 located at the fuselage station specified in the drawings forced the longerons into an unnatural curve. I am considering moving C8 slightly forward, which is explicitly allowed in the drawings.
