Brief Description:  Install Rudder Lower Fairing & Empennage Fairing

Started to install the lower rudder fairing. But realized there were a number of rivets still not installed at the aft end of the tail cone side skins. Looked up drawings for these and found they should have been installed along with the other rivets for the side skins.

Had to remove the rudder from the vertical stabilizer and then remove the vertical stabilizer from the tail cone in order to reach the back side of these rivets in order to install them.

Installed the rivets in the aft end of the tail cone side skins by squeezing them. This also allowed me to install the rear nut plates for the empennage fairing using squeezed rivets in place of the pulled rivets I initially used.

Reinstalled the vertical stabilizer and the rudder, reconnected the rudder cables.
Installed the lower horizontal stabilier gap seal. Installed the empennage fairing.
