Manual Reference:  Rear top skin
Brief Description:  Rivet on the rear fuselage top skin

Removed the vertical and horizontal stabilizers and back down the a canoe. Riveted the skin to the top of the various bulkheads, reaching underneath the skin to get the top half of the rivets. Then working front and rear as far as I could reach.
Finally it was time to call in the favor from my wife. It had been some time since she had been behind the rivet gun, but it cam back quickly and we were off and riveting in sync.
I don't think I'm a big guy. While I'm 6 foot I only weigh 175 lbs; but climbing back into the rear fuselage took its tole on me today. It is holding your body at odd angles in tight spaces.. But it was great to get the skin riveted into place one last time.
