Brief Description:  Rear Turtle Deck - Part 1

The rear turtle deck skin came out exceptionally nice. Seemed like there were about 1000 holes to be drilled, deburred, and dimpled, but at last it was done. The bulkheads also came out nice and are now riveted to the fuselage structure. Basically, the plane is done from the cabin aft towards the tail with the exception of riveting the turtle deck on. Riveting won't be done for a while to allow for routing of cables and antenna wires. Also, the battery still needs to be installed and mount fabricated.
