Brief Description:  Rear fuse port side and rivet longerons to fuse bo

Repeated steps to rivet stiffeners to port side as was done with starboard. The only exception is that I did not rivet the rear side panel to the rear side as was done before. The plans have a notation not to rivet the left side until the pulley is installed. For now, I'm mostly following the Jon Croke HBH process as I think it is easier to do the rear fuselage without a helper using his guide, so I'm not sure that notation is still relevant, but everything is in place to just slide it in and rivet when the time comes, so I'm good either way.

Once the side was done and I returned the longeron to the bottom skin, I deburred the torque tube bearing panel, corrosion protected it, and the bottom longeron mating surfaces, and riveted those components to the bottom skin.

This entry takes my build log over the 400 hour mark. By Zenith's reckoning, I should have a completed airframe. My personal estimation was 600 hours when I started. I don't really know how close I am on that either, but I'm feeling ok about my 18 month elapsed completion target.

HAPPY NEW YEARS!
