F21-01 Fuselage Tail Cone Box.
I started putting together the parts that will make the Fuselage Tail Cone Box. On the tables up side down I clamped together the F25-01 side panels with the F24-05 Lower Cross Tie #1 and Lower Vertical Fin Post. I squared the side panels and lower cross tie #1. I made sure that the outside distance at the bend line of the side panels was exactly 40 inches apart. I the drilled the #40 pilot holes for the lower cross tie #1 using the pilot holes of the vertical zees as a guide. I placed the lower skin in place to check for fit. I also started to locate lower cross tie #2. I am taking my time to be sure that every thing is square and straight.
