08/11/2009 - Drilled the aft fuselage

I made sure that the fuselage tail cone area all fitted nice and flush.  This took a little while to sort as the tail cone skin is quite thick and does not bend easily.  Using a mixture of trapping in a wood vice on the bench and bending using brute force at various points along its length I managed to improve the radius of the curve of the cone skin so it fit flush with rib and side skin.

Then drilled all the holes in the aft fuselage, and there plenty of them.  Once it is dissembled the next job will be deburring, smoothing and dimpling :-(
