Installing the Aft Deck

Continuing on with the Aft Deck, this rivet looks ok.......from the top side.


Not so good from here. Got a little bent sideways so had to drill this one out. I may have been able to salvage it if I could somehow get in from the other side, but that was too difficult and could've just made things worse.


At least access to the top of the rivet was very easy.


Perfect! Bang in the middle.



All done!! Looks quite good with the round rivet heads.




Sort of getting to see how the tail might almost look when it's on the plane. This obviously won't be really being installed for another 3ish years I'd be guessing.


Just thought I'd take a shot of before and after drilling the 1/4" hole which will no doubt hold the Vert Stab on...
