Placed the sidewall skin/longeron/splice plate hardware per instruction. As my ham sized hands were not much use inside the cross tie box, my wife had to do the washer/nut placement for me. Once that was done I riveted the cross tie box and thus that is now closed; hopefully forever.
I did not drill the bolt locations for the bottom skin as I will leave this off until the end for access.
I then was able to suspend the entire aft fuselage from the ceiling of my garage. I need the room and my wife will be parking on her side of the garage soon as the snow is soon to fall.
Cleaned up the shop and began assembling materials for the next phase.
