Brief Description:  Torque tube rear angle installation

This should have been a simple installation, but the confines of the hatch made it very difficult. The end braces of the angle fit over the Z angles that outline the hatch. The braces are pilot hole drilled, which means you have to get behind the Z angles to backdrill through them which is very difficult to do. I ended up drilling out a longeron rivet on each side so I could get a long drill bit in position from the outside of the plane. The tight confines made it difficult to get the hand riveter in position for those holes, especially on the passenger side where the flaperon motor is located. I ended up temporarily bending the Z up a bit to rivet from the inside out on that side. The edge of the steel pin assembly needed to be trimmed as it would have extended below the level of the hatch.

Note from future self: This would have been much easier if I had de-riveted the lower baggage back and removed it. Ended up doing it later to allow for flaperon control adjustments.
