“No bird ever flew nonstop from New York to Tokyo, or raced 15 miles high at triple the speed of sound.                                                                                                   
  Birds do something else.   They do not conquer the air; they romance it..”

In the passed days I have been fine tuning the rear skirt. I filed some more from the edge on the front and rear to make a smoother beveled transition from side skirt and canopy to front line and on the back to the rear top fuselage skin.

I will sikaflex the rear skirt to the canopy and side skin but decided to add some additional "safety" AD3 rivets through the rear skirt into the back of the side skirt

Drew some  lines and drilled away.

The rear skirt now fully attaches with clecoes.

Repeated the same on the passenger side.
