Tailcone Internals Riveting

Chris's avatarPosted by

Riveting together the smaller bulkheads and accompanying pieces that go to the aft end of the tailcone. Required the use of the riveting gun in addition to the pneumatic squeezer.

Painted the plate that holds the battery and elevator bellcrank for a little more durability.

Deburred and primed the support pieces for the battery/elevator bellcrank plate, primed it, and then attached the angle pieces after riveting a lot of nutplates to those first. It was a little tricky as there were two different nutplates that are required, even though they all look the same, need to read the plans closely.
