Rivet baggage corner flat rib to bottom skin inboard line.

Took off the angle on F706 bulkhead vertical support, drilled and dimple the four rivet holes. I need get this done before I can rivet the angle.

I debated if I need to rivet the F706 to aft fuselage now or later. There is no clear preference among other builders. Some riveted before, some after. I really don't know if I need do it now or later, so I will just wait. I hate to drill out rivets.

Then I flip the after fuselage, and joined the center and aft fuselage together. Everything lined up good after a little tweaking.
