Brief Description:  More riveting and aft deck fitting

Decided to finish up some aft fuselage riveting that I had waited on. After riveting for awhile, I studied the plans and began fitting the aft deck. I guess this is one of those "don't mess this up or your airplane will fly corkscrews" steps because the plans say to "take your time with this step, once the aft deck is riveted in place, the fuselage is torsionally rigid and any twist will be built in permanently". Sounds serious to me...especially that torsionally rigid part. Oh well, I don't have the latest laser level, so I broke out the same level that seems to work for everything else and leveled the fuselage. With the aft deck clamped in place I checked, rechecked, and then called a timeout to freeze the shooter. And then I drilled.
