Brief Description:  Riveting the fuselage continues

Today I finished the last few remaining rivets along the tail section. These were just not reachable with the aircraft upside down. Right side up I was able to complete the riveting by myself. As I was getting ready to rivet the F-711D angle to the F-711 bars I noticed the angle had been damaged by a drill. Probably happened drilling the skins to the F-711 bulkhead. No sweat I fabricated another.

Next step in clean up projects was to torque the tail wheel mount bolts. Took more time to get the torque wrench out then it did to complete the torque. Last step was to mount the F-714 aft deck and check one more time for any twist in the fuselage. It is nice and straight. Tomorrow I will rivet it to the longerons.
