Started Riveting Tailcone Bottom Skin

Chris's avatarPosted by

After finishing the rudder, I had to make a decision whether to continue in the plans and begin the horizontal stabilizer, or jump back to the tailcone which has all parts already prepared for final assembly. I opted with the tailcone. I want to assemble another workbench before tackling the horizontal stabilizer, plus the tailcone parts are just calling out to me right now.

So, a bunch of back riveting the stiffeners and bulkheads to the bottom skin. Three or four required drilling and replacing.

Nice to see the tailcone taking shape again.
