Today the upper skin was riveted to the tailcone structure; first half of the skin was accessible from the outside, for the remaining rivets I had to crawl inside of the tailcone which proved to be comfy as long as you are laying on some of pillows. You could even take a nap inside 

The battery rack incl. the Elevator Bellcrank & the Elevator Pushrod have been bolted as well. The Elevator Pushrod was primed with a 2K Epoxy Primer – smells like hell but gives a good finish.. I plan to use the 2K Primer on all pushrods.

Inside of the tailcone, ready to go with the bucking bars. Some paint had to be repaired as well:

The upper skins aren’t dimpled, neither primed.. Just a little test to see if it works out.
