More Skin

More photos showing the skins going around the tailcone frames.  Skins are first “clecoed” to the frames, then riveted into place.  The skins and frames matched up very nicely.  Nothing too complicated about this part of the project.  Many rivets!  This part of the assembly actually involved some plasitic tubing for the static ports, as well as a cable for the stabilator trim.

See photos below:

My kids think it looks like a “time machine.”

 Skins have J-shaped stiffener that fits into frame, then overlap the adjacent skins.
