November 3, 2005 - Riveting the Aft Fuse

I riveted most of the left aft fuselage side.  You leave the rivets above the center J-stringer line unriveted so you can get the main longeron in later.  I still have a few rivets to do in the aft-most section.  There are a bzillion rivets in the aft fuse.  It will probably take me close to ten hours to get them all done.  I'm doing most of them by myself.  The only ones I need help on are on the bottom and where the bottom skin joins to the side skins. 
Starting to rivet the right aft fuselage side on.  After all the trouble I had with the tailcone, in the end, it came out fine.
