Initial fit-up of tail cone parts
- Continue to build bulkheads. Match drill, dimple flanges using "Main Squeeze", debur, and rivet together
- Cut longerons to lengths specificed in plans. (Phil did cutting while I worked on bulkheads)
- Place bottom skin upside down on saw horsed. Attach bulk heads to bottom skin with clecos
- Mark center drill line on bottom longerons, slide into place thru bulkheads and clamp.
- Match drill holes into bottom longerons, inserting clecos every 6", then drill all reamining longeron holes
- Cleco left skin to bulkheads, insert 3 side longerons thru bulkheads and clamp front & rear
- Drill holes into left side longerons ~ every 6" inserting clecos, then drill remaining holes
- Cleco right side skin to bulkheads, insert 3 right side longerons thru bulkheads and clamp
- Flip tailcone upright on saw horses.
- Drill right side longeron holes as was done with left side.
- Insert rear 2 bulkheads into assembled tail cone and cleco in place.
- Check rear bulkheads for level and drill holes for braces.
- Disassembled built up tailcone back into individual components to allow for deburing.
- Separated several additional tail cone parts using band saw and cleaned up/debured on Scotch Brite wheel.
