 Tonight I flipped the tailcone back over.

 And cleco'ed this small bulkhead onto the assembly.

 Then match reamed the holes.

 Then I followed the directions and fluted the bulkhead flanges that have two holes in them.  Others skipped this step and found out that it was impossible to cleco the skins on. 

 Then I added the last three J stiffeners.

 And then I spent the next two hours cleco'ing on these two skins.  Yep it is a pain in the rear!

I remember doing similar skins on the RV-7.  It has not gotten any easier over the years!  I am still amazed that Van's engineering gets all these holes to align!
