    Section 10: Tailcone Started (20 / 267 tail and total )

    Unfortunately, I have not been keeping daily track of my progress as closely as i should have during the past 3 weeks. My estimate of time sounds slightly high, but oh well, it is just a guide.

    The tailcone pieces are much larger than the previous parts.

    I wish I had the room for some sawhorses, but this jerry-rigged setup will have to do. Drilling the stiffeners required a lot of clecos. In fact, I will have to order more soon.

    My technique for drilling stiffeners was to drill 2 holes, then cleco the last hole. Drill 2 more holes and cleco the last hole. In this way, I ended up with a cleco in every other hole and could make steady progress of drilling the hundreds of match-drill holes.

    This thing is HUGE!
