Tailcone Attachment 32-1 to 32-4-4
In preparation for tail cone attachment, I reorganized my garage workspace to allow for the extended length of the fuselage with tail cone, and retrieved the tail cone itself from storage. This section began with deburring (all holes) and dimpling several holes in the F-1006B bulkhead as well as few in the F-1006A and F-1006C bulkheads and F-1029 Bellcrank Ribs. The F-1006B bulkhead still needs to be primed so that will be done prior to final assembly.
