 Started work on the Aft Deck
Time to rivet the F-711D angle to the F-711 Bulkhead. This angle piece was left unriveted from long time ago so the outside skin could be riveted to the longerons. I just love these small rivet sets that I got from Averys. They allow me to use my pneumatic squeezer even on these really long rivets.

 Made the F-710C and F-711E spacers that go under the Aft Deck
I found the material to make the F-711E spacer but couldn't find the material to make the F-710C. I checked some other builders websites and they couldn't find the material either. Crap... It just so happens that I had a hunk of AS3-125 that was left over from previous boo-boo where I had to reorder some of that particular material.

 Time to level the fuselage
The RV Gods must have been with me! To level the forward fuselage all I needed was a 1/32" shim under the small sawhorse on one side to get it level.

 Dude! Check this out!
It's pretty pitiful for a man in his fifties to say "Dude", so I blame that on my 13 year son. Anyway... "Dude, Check this out!" The first fit of the aft deck and it's level! I need to go buy a lottery ticket.

 TIme to drill and cleco!
I got a brand new drill bit and starting drilling the holes. Tomorrow I will take it apart and deburr, paint and rivet the aft deck on.
