- Riveted bellyskin and fitted left sideskin. Sorry, no pictures showing the progress between
the pictures above and below.
- Riveted left side tailcone skin . Notice jig members between 99.35 and 177.5 are now gone. They need to be removed so that the right skin can be installed.
- Fitted right side tailcone skin. Also some pictures that show the left side riveted
and the right side with clecos. Notice, NO MORE WOOD supports for the bulkheads inside the
tailcone: now I have room to crawl into the tailcone (that is what the board is for). This
is the FIRST encounter with how something so simple can be so strong (I weigh 170 lbs and
the thing didn't even make a sound when I plopped myself in there.
- Complete riveted tailcone out of the jig FINALLY!!
