Brief Description:  Aft skin - riveting

Worked solo and completed most of the aft skin, except the aft edge which is beyond the reach of solo work. In addition, the area requires a little more pressure on the bulkhead flange to compress the layers.

Overall this is a tough section because the fit of every thing must be right and no progressive slip can be accepted. Working in sections to avoid accumulation of slip, keeping clecoes in and alignment of plexiglas before any fastener is set.

A few areas got a longer rivet than plan call-out, but the thickness of layers justify a proper length. (Bulkhead and two skins, or intersction of those plus a J-Stringer, for example).Window fit well, but had to eliminate a short section of the backing strip over the rollbar brace (no room in insert it).
