Brief Description: More riveting on side skins and bottom skins (10-2
This is one of those steps that just says rivet the Tailcone, where you spend several days and you’re still working on the same step. Anyway, I managed to complete all but 6 rivets on each side fwd of the F-1010 bulkhead. The ones under the j-channel will need to be bucked and anything aft of the F-1010 bulkhead, (where the rivet gun doesn’t fit), will have to be bucked. I also completed the main stiffeners on the bottom skin, but still need to work the corners and bottom edge of the side skins. I’ve had to drill out an occasional rivet that didn’t set right or was a little proud of the skin.
