Since I have everything I can think of done in the tail cone
and the area to the rear of the baggage compartment I figure it is finally time to get
that rear top skin on. I started down
the middle spine and then worked from the rear out to each J Channel. Here is where I got pretty frustrated. I remember in the instructions probably about
1.5 years ago, it said, don’ rivet the rear of the center rib to the aft
bulkhead due to rivet interference.
Well, sure enough somewhere along the line I forgot that piece of info
and riveted it. Now I couldn't buck one
of the rivets that sat straight above this.
So instead of tearing it apart, I decided a single pop rivet would give
it character until it was painted. Then
once painted you would never know since I filled the hole with some proseal.. Other than people giving me a hard time between now and when it is painted it won't be a factor.. Its just one
of those things where this far into the project you have to consider just
pushing forward to get done, vs. continued rejigging for perfection.. I chose to move forward. ;-)
