Tail Cone Riveting, Part 6

Hours Worked = 3.5

Yup. This is my 6th riveting session on the tail cone, and I think I only have another day or two to finish up.

Tonight the bellcrank ribs and angles were riveted together and then those assemblies to the tail cone bottom skin. Colleen may have helped again with a few hard to reach rivets…

The rest of the night was dedicated to riveting and bolting the rear deck plate on to the tail cone. It was all pretty straight forward.

And, finally, I clecoed the rear top skin and stiffeners onto the tail cone in preparation for the next riveting session.
