Brief Description:  Aft Fuselage

Fitted the rear fuselage side skins. Starting with the F-807 bulkhead was pretty easy. Installing the F-808 went okay but took a bit of tweaking on the skin/bulkhead clecos. F-809 & F-810 went fine.

Installing the F-811 & F-812 into the aft bottom skin took a lot of effort. The skin was pre-formed but really needs to be bent manually a bit more. Installing it to the side skins was tough. Clecoing it to the F-810 and the left side skin went okay but it wouldn't line up with the right side lower longeron. I finally had to get out a couple of truck straps to bend the lower skin enough to cleco everything into place.

Need to build a higher sawhorse for the back of the fuselage.
