Tail cone assembly continued

Hours Worked = 1.5

We had a lot of other stuff going on today, but I was able to squeeze in an hour and a half on the -10 between chores.

First, I cleco’d in some braces that strengthen the rudder stop on the last bulkhead. You’ll see a level across the top of the tail cone a few times as the instructions have you make sure that everything is level both in front and back, ensuring there is no twist in the fuselage. The rudder stop brace is a bit tricky to get match drilled, simply because there isn’t much space to get in there with a cleco pliers.

Next, I attached the front most bulkhead of the tail cone along with a few other parts that attach to the front bulkhead and the bell-crank ribs.
