Brief Description:  Fuselage Riveting #10

-Backriveted the mid-longeron to the right aft skin
-Primed the left aft skin and installed the 4 nutplates for the inspection cover
-Backriveted the mid-longeron to the left aft skin
-Riveted the horizontal stabilizer mounting bars to the F811 bulkhead assembly per the plans.
-Drilled the bottom two holes for the tailwheel mount 1/4" attach holes.
-Mounted the tailwheel mount to the F811 bulkhead with shims
-Cleco'd the F812 to the F828 aft bottom skin (short section at the very end)
-Rivted F812 to the F828. Rather than using a 25lb shot bag laying in the F828 skin as the plan describe, I clamped the F812 to the bench. The fwd row of rivets I shot and the aft row I could flip the assembly upside down, clamp and then use my hand squeezer. Came out good.
-Cleco'd F811 to the F828 in preparation for riveting
-Cleco'd and riveted the F811 bulkhead to the F828 bottom skin (using the same method as I used to rivet F812 to the F828).
-Riveted the keeper rivets in the aft end fo the tailwheel spring mount.
-Cleco'd the lower longerons and the F828 aft-most bottom tailcone skin to the fuselage.
-Cleco'd the F857C angles to the fuselage
-Cleco'd the F808, F809, F810 bulkheads to the fuselage
