Spent 1 hour today cutting and putting together a couple saw horses in preparation for tail cone assembly. S and T helped me for a while today preparing the tail cone skins. We removed the plastic around the rivet areas and deburred the edges. A few of them required placing a slight bend on the edges as per instructions. This was easily accomplished with a bending tool. This will allow for a tighter fit of the the edges of the skins when they are attached together.
We then started putting together the tail cone frames.
Priming Note: At this point I have decided to not prime the tail cone as this section is easily accessible and instead of priming I may apply a solution such as corrosion x for corrosion resistance. The tail cone section and wings will be easier to apply in than the smaller sections built so far. Many do not prime their aircraft at all and have had no issues with corrosion.
Time: 4.5 hrs
