Brief Description:  Install the Baggage Bulkhead

Tim, my inspector, had threatened to come today, so I wanted to get the rear fuselage parts done if possible, so that he could see what I had done before I attached the tailcone, and made things harder to inspect.

Picture 1 shows the fuselage Skin Stiffeners riveted in place. This was a hangover from the side panel work on Page 23-06 Step 8. Another box ticked.

Picture 2 show the baggage bulkhead in place, so we are looking forward from the rear. The bulkhead is constructed of three panels, and a couple of frames. There's a number of nutplates to be attached. Stupidly, I clecoed the panels together and then did the nutplates. This just made life unnecessarily difficult. Next time (!!!) I'll rivet as many nutplates as possible before further assembly.

Picture 3 shows the same bulkhead from the front. As you can see, the surfaces visible from the cockpit are grey, while the other sides are just etch-primed. Interesting picture - it looks as though I have installed a pillar drill in the tailcone ;-)
