Nov 10, 2019 Tail Cone - Section 10 Category: Empennage
It's really starting to look like something now. Putting the tail cone together starts to give an idea as to the scale of this. Got the hard to reach rivets with the help of my daughter Sheena. Will get to the aft deck next. Majority of skins were back riveted. Turned out very nice. For the flanges on the curved part of the bulkheads I got my daughter Sheena to help buck. I used a sliced off portion of a rubber tube as sort of a shim to help press the flange tight and set the rivet about half way. Then removed the tube and set the rivet the rest of the way. Plan to run some wires for the elevator trim and tail light before I close up the top skins.
