Tailcone- 2 hrs 19 mins (Tailcone 67:02, Empennage 242:34, Total 263:30)
Rivet count: 81 (Total 3,775)
The first 44 minutes of this entry is not in the video. I spent a little bit of time yesterday in the garage, but the heat was unbearable, so I stopped early. I assembled the battery case and all of its associated nutplates.
We begin riveting the tailcone itself by assembling the individual bulkheads. The 1012 and 1011 assemblies were done today. Pretty easy work, but very time consuming working with the small parts, and using the squeezer to get a nice looking product requires messing around with the settings in order to accomodate each different rivet type and size. We continue tomorrow with the 1010 bulkhead followed by the 1009, 1008, 1007, and 1006 frames. -M
