Brief Description:  Started process of closing up rear fuselage

Visually it doesn't look like much progress was made, but I did a lot of different stuff today. First, I removed the side channels and deburred/cortec treated them, then returned them to the fuselage. Temporarily added the side gussets for additional support. Positioned the top channel assembly from yesterday to the side channels. Trimmed the rear top longerons and riveted to the top skin. Before positioning the fuselage top, I ran the 5 wire trim tab cable along the bottom passenger side channel in the groove. Then set the top skin assembly in place. It took a while to get all the places on the longerons sandwiched between the skin and top stiffeners, but got it done and cleco'd in place. With the top skin assembly positioned, I riveted the top channel assembly to the side channels with A6 rivets. Prepared the front fuse longeron gussets and positioned. With all the holes in that area and the odd shape, they were surprisingly hard to get positioned. Ended up marking the outline on the exterior to visually remind where it is to go on the inside and worked through the window to put it in place. Marked off the no-rivet zones on the assembly per the HBH video. I'm not quite ready to rivet the big fuselage assembly yet, but getting close.
