Brief Description:  More Tail Cone

I was pretty busy trying to get this rear fuselage nearer to
completion. I installed the tail wheel mount. The plans call
for CCP-42 rivets. I ran out of those so just used -44's
to finish riveting the mount to the bulkhead. I had previously
drilled the 4 bolt holes through the longeron so it was a
simple matter of installing the AN 525's. The very aft bulkhead
will not be riveted in place until I fit the Vertical Stab.

The second and third pics are of my home made static system.
I copied the system from Tony Spicer. I made the aluminum
blocks out of 1 X 1 X 1/4" 6061-T6 bar stock. The fittings
and tubing were sourced from McMaster Carr. The adhesive
cable tie mounts are from the aviation department of Home Depot.
If you look closely at the outside skin you can see the large head
pop rivet that is partially set and the the mandrel is tapped out
lleaving a hollow shell. This system is similiar to Van's RV's.
