Initial Joining of Empennage and Fuselage

I got all of the bulkheads drilled and dimpled. The rest of the night was mating up the empennage. The left longeron was a bit long with what they had from the factory on the fuselage. The longeron that was on the empennage was just the right length with the edge distances that were required for the rivets. So it took alot of time filing the longeron on the fuselage down but I finally got it at the right depth. It is definitely alot of work to get everything to fit together but it fits. I will start match drilling the holes tomorrow after I verify that everything lines up and after I get back from helping someone pickup a food order from the Bishop’s storehouse.

Oh I almost forgot. I also removed the upper forward fuselage that they had temporarily pop riveted into place. That didn’t take too long though.
