Assembled Tailcone and Started Riveting
Now that everything in the tailcone is primed and the tailspring mount is painted, I clecoed the tailcone together.
The tailspring mount fits between F-711 and F-712. I shot and bucked the keeper rivets the hold the mount to F-712 (you can see them on the right side of the mount here. These just keep the mount from shifting until the bolts that tie this and the vertical stabilizer spar together are installed.
I flipped the tailcone upside down to make it more stable for riveting and shimmed it until there was no twist.
It was too late to run the rivet gun, but I squeezed all of the rivets in F-712 and all I could reach on F-711.
