Shawn Li's RV-7 Construction Log

06-03-2012: 3.5 hr

I thought fitting the leading edge was difficult, fitting the last two bulkheads (F711 and F721) to tail cone is much more frustrating. After reading what other builders did, I fine tuned the flange angle on the bulkheads, rolled the tail cone, I finally got the bulkheads clecoed to the cone. But the fitting is still not perfect. Hope drilling to #40 size, and dimpling the hole will help when it's time to rivet. It looks like I don't need to use AD4 rivets here, like  many other builders did.
