Brief Description:  Aft skin & rear window

Riveted the aft juncture of the rollbar brace, and all the layers of the top skin down. Then the top of the aft skin, the mods to the skin. Torqued all the rollbar bracket bolts to spec. All with the assistance of Chris T from the EAA chap. Picked up the techniques quickly and did a good job.

Removed all the blue painters tape from the plexiglas and used the plastic polish to clean up both in and out surfaces. Window cleaned up nicely.

Squeezed the universal rivets on the rollbar brace by hand. Good access. Then did more riveting on the J-stringers, solo. Inserted the rear window and added a few screws to secure position. Added a few perimeter clecoes to secure the skin, and then added the four screws to the hold the skins to the base of the rollbar.
