Empennage, Aft Fuselage (Part 45)

More Side Skin riveting.....almost done!  Today’s session was the last (or bottom) row of Side Skin rivets that attach the Bottom Skin.  All of the rivets from today’s session were back riveted using a back riveting plate and 12” back rivet set.  The arrows below point to the rows in the section between the F-01410 and F-01408 Bulkheads.

These two rows of rivets were installed between the F-01408 and F-01407 Bulkheads.

And lastly, this row is between the F-01407 and F-01406B Bulkheads.  I ran short on time today, so I wasn’t able to complete both sides.  The left side is shown below.  I will finish the right side tomorrow.
