Brief Description:  Aft fuselage riveting

Today work resumed in earnest on the RV project. In the morning I completed the match drilling of the ADHRS mount to the aft fuselage bottom skin and bulkheads. A good bit of time was spent with a level and plumb bob to make sure everything was properly aligned before I drilled.

In the afternoon Skip joined me and we began riveting the aft fuselage. He maned the bucking bar and I the rivet gun and we used the back rivet meathod for nearly all the rivets we set. We were able to rivet bulkheads and side and bottom skins for the first two bays of the aft fuselage.
