I am ready to rivet the rear fuselage skins to the bulkheads and would
like to get some hints as to the sequence to rivet the stuff. The
small tailcone skin is completely rivetted to the small bulkheads and
to the tailwheel thing and is now clecoed to the rest of the rear
fuselage. Any tips or gotchas are appreciated.

José,
I'd make sure everything associated with the tailwheel bracket is
drilled, deburred, etc. Also, the rudder stops...you may want to do all
the drilling and deburring before the skins are riveted. It's hard to
get a tool in there through the access panels once the skins are on.

Thank Martin,
Thanks… all of that work on the tailwheel area is done and the stuff
is ready for riveting. I reviewed Dan's site to get an idea of the
sequence and found I too had already tightened the tail wheel thingy
to the bulkhead (Arghhhh!!!). Not sure why Dan threw away bolts and
nuts after a single use tho!. I'll just undo it, rivet the stubborn
rivet and bolt it back together using the same bolt and nut.
Now I just need to get my son away from the X-box and into my shop
this weekend to start pounding rivets.
