Tailcone Continues



Riveted the shoulder strap lugs to the tailcone. Riveted the shear clips to the baggage bulkhead. Deburred and cleco'ed the baggage corner skins. Ensure you have the skin overlaps correct. Then began the process of riveting the tailcone to the fuselage to the baggage corner skins. I love lying on my back on the garage floor to rivet. The process took just about the entire work session. All of the holes aligned very, very well. Had to match drill about 4 holes, where there were 4 thicknesses of skin/rib.

Completed the day by test fitting the turtle deck skins. They both aligned perfectly.
