Finished up the tailcone assembly! - 5 man hours.
Started today by finishing up the rivets on the right side.
Preparing the forward vertical stabilizer skin attach rib. Final drilling the holes to size.
Dimpling the screw holes.
Riveting on the nutplates.
I am not 100% happy with how the top skin overlap came out on the aft end. There are a couple puckers that left a very slight gap which should get hidden by paint but it bothers me. Also between the aft rivets is not as smooth as the rest of the skins. A little wavy. I followed the directions on breaking of the skins and increasing the break on the aft end but not sure if I went too far or not enough. It is definitely acceptable but not what I would have liked.
Riveted the vertical stabilizer front skin attach rib to the tailcone.
Riveted in the center J stiffener and the magnetometer mount brackets.
