Today was a very full day of RV building. First task was to finish the fabrication
of the replacement aft deck. Here you can see it's all done except for the rivet holes.
After much twisting, leveling, clamping, and drilling the I managed to get the aft deck
drilled so the twist is out of the fuselage. In spite of my best attempts to back drill
through the longerons, my poor angle drill technique was just going to screw up the rivet
holes in the longerons, so I decided to use the old aft deck as a template to drill the holes
in the new one. Wouldn't that make the two the same you ask? Well, no, because I drilled
each side separately. The clecos go in well, so I believe it'll rivet together just fine.
Last task for today was to prime all the replacement parts as well as put a heavier coat
of primer on the horizontal stabilizer skeleton parts. The primer thickness looks much
better now. Hopefully my friend, Scott, got approval from the boss to come help reassemble
some of this stuff this weekend.
