Continued to get started riveting the tailcone. Made up a couple of doublers to put on top of one of the rivet tabs on the F712 bulkhead on each side, to reinforce the tab where the rivet goes. I also decided to beef up the rivets on the rudder stops after seeing an RV with the stops knocked off from the rudder banging on it during a windstorm, so used AN470 rivets in 3 of the holes instead of AN426 in two holes and CS4-4 blind rivets in the front two. Had to use the CS4-4 in one of the front holes due to the j strip preventing getting a bucking bar on the rivet.
