Brief Description:  Tailcone assembly #2

Part 2 of 2 today

After clecoing the bulkheads and skins together, I setup a few boxes to keep the assembly in place while I worked it into the mid aft section of the fuselage.

I removed the clecoes from the bottom skins and the sides of the skins on the F-807.

I carefully moved the longerons and skins into place and clecoed may way around the bottom skins and the side skins.

Once the skins and longerons were secured, I clecoed the F-808 to the baggage rib assembly.

I then placed the lower skin into postion and clecoed from front to rear, ensuring the bottom skin was sandwiched between the lower longeron and aft skins.

The skins are a little thicker at the rear and lining the holes up took a little extra work, but all is good.

I'll be bending the top longerons soon.
