10-25-2012: 3 hrs

Got the aft deck and spacers primed. I will wait a little bit before riveting them. Make sure I have done everything now that the access is still easy.

Moved on the rails. I made a mistake by cutting the 1- 7/32" material of right rail. This is required only for tip-up, I didn't read the drawing carefully. Luckly, I caught this mistake when just about to cut the left rail. This is not a structural concern, just cosmetic, there will be a big gap between the rail and F705 bulkhead, don't look nice. I will use a doubler to rivet the cut material back to the rail.

I also fit the F655 gusset to longeron, rail, and F705 bulkhead. Looks good.
