Aft fuselage

After some more fairing work, I continued on to the aft fuselage.
First parts found and ready for deburring.

The aft most frames clecoed onto the bottom skin

All structural part ready for priming. I'll do
the priming in 3-4 session. My paint boot is small
and the large skins will be difficult to handle.

Cleavelands Tight Fit Dimpling Fixture and the
male die on the rivet gun. This was necessary on
the two aft frames because the web are bent beyond
90 degree and therefore impossible to reach with
the squeezer.


All holes against the skin on the C channel longerons has to be countersunk.

The bottom is deburred and ready for etching and
priming.
I've built a cradle to hold the HS, VS, elevator and rudder. They
are now complete.
