My dad stopped by tonight and helped me knock out the rest of the riveting on the tailcone tonight. It was his first time, but he picked it up really quickly and the rivets look great.
I also put the correct bolts into the tailwheel mount through F-711 and torqued and sealed them.
To save space, I stood the tailcone up on a blanket. This freed up a significant amount of floor space that I’ll need while working on the center section. I’ve got to get the wings out of here soon or I’ll run out of room.
I also fluted all of the seat ribs and squared the flanges. I haven’t rejoined the seat ribs to the F-705 bulkhead yet though.
Two of the ribs need relief cuts to clear wiring holes in F-704.
The same thing goes to two of the ribs attached to F-705.
