Today, we finished the last rivetting on the aft fuselage. Geert came over and gave me hand on rivetting it all together.

 

Some rivets on the aft side underneath the j-channel stiffeners are hard to set and have to be bucked blindly. But it all went fine in the end. I still have to decide if I will install a spacer between the tail wheel mount and the bulkheads. I have the impression that my last bulkhead gets pulled in a little. So might loosen this up again and add a spacer. I'll revisit this later when join both parts of the fuselage Next, I'll start working on the center fuselage section
