Tailcone- 4 hrs 11 mins (Tailcone 78:49, Empennage 254:21, Total 275:17)
Rivet count: 483 (Total 4,888)
Lots of riveting today. Having a relatively lax day at work allowed me to spend quite some time on the project. I riveted the rest of the stiffeners to the side skin, and then all the bulkheads and frames to the skins. Then I did the aft bottom skin and the two stiffeners in the very aft part of the tailcone. This evening, -G came back to help otu and we knocked out the remaining rivets between the bottom skin and the side skins and the hard to reach rivets between the skins and frames at the curved part of the cone. We didn't do any of the F-1006 rivets since that happens after the fuselage is made, and we also skipped the longeron rivets since that won't happen until we get all the aft parts assembled and after we add the top skin. Tomorrow I'll continue with the small pieces and I hope to be done with the tailcone by this weekend. Famous last words, right? -M
