The side skins are on. Again, there was a little bit of wrangling to be done with those frames. I found the best way to get these skins on is to start from the rear, about 6 inches from the rear.. and start to insert rivets in every other hole, cleco as you go. That works great..and easily until you get to the forwardmost frame. It seemed like I had to pull the skin away, and slightly bend the entire skin so that the holes were facing upward a little (I don't know how else to describe it).
Anyhow, once the line was riveted, I went back and did the rivets in the frame.
At this point, you need to run the elevator trim control wires, and the static and pitot tubes.
Next step is adding the RTV silicone around the static ports.. finishing the rear bulkhead.. placing the last three skins, the VS forward attachment.
