Aft bottom skin

Posted on by Neal

I riveted the aft fuselage to the aft bottom skin, and then to the tail wheel mount. 10 rivets in total, all squeezed with a variety of yokes.

Tail wheel mount riveted to aft bulkhead
Tail wheel mount sits down into the bottom skin cutout, without touching

Green touch up primer on the mount, and splotches of white on the bulkhead makes everything look messy. The iterative process of shaping these parts to fit well scratched off primer and powder coating, so a touch-up was needed.
