Brief Description:  Aft Fuselage

Continued drilling holes to final size. Installed the last details - the small angles at the aft side of the box beam where it joins the fuselage side panels. Finished drilling all the upper holes, moved down to the holes in the verticals and cross beams. Worked front to back to not miss anything. Moved back into the aft bay. Final sized the aft shear web, the right side of the vertical tail spar (left side gets final sized when the hinge is attached). Final sized some of the tailwheel weldment holes - realized this should be done with the TAIL SPAR in place, not the spacer. Now I have a perfect fitting spacer and a tail spar with 1/8" holes for the 3/16" bolts. I now have to figure how to get these holes lined up (yes, in upsizing the holes from 1/8" pilots to 3/16", they seem to walk off the centers a little bit in random directions). Found out where all my tolerancing errors ended up - the lower forward tailwheel weldment angle to lower longeron bolt holes. These appear to be too far aft and too far outboard to fit on that angle well, so I will try to "walk" these forward and inboard when upsizing the holes.

Added relief around where the holes were too far aft.  This will let washers sit flat.
