She’s starting to look like a tailcone again after yesterday’s work! I got the final F-1012 bulkhead put together and then I got all of the bottom and side skins put together with the frames and bulkheads. I got the front section of the stiffners riveted and then I just put the rivets in the rest of the holes on the sides. I plan on working on finishing those today and then flipping over the tailcone to do the bottom. Or maybe turning it on it’s side so that I can buck the rivet while the boys run the riveting gun. Either way, here are the pictures from yesterday’s work!
