September 13, 2005 - Aft Fuselage

With the J-stringers drilled, it's time to drill out the rest of the aft fuselage holes to #40. 
My Dad really enjoyed working on the plane.  I tried to talk him into moving in with us for a year but my Mom quickly vetoed that idea. 
See what I mean about a lot of holes.
We finished all the drilling but I am apprehensive about riveting these hundreds of holes. 
Drilling in action.  The pneumatic drills are smaller and lighter than my relatively heavy electric drill.  But I don't mind drilling with it.
