One of the planes I saw at Flight Crafters (sorry, I don't remember who's it
was) had glassed small blocks of wood on either side of the inside of the tail
boom, just forward of the tower, at about the level of the seam between the
top and bottom moldings. In the event you need to access doodads in the tail
section, these blocks are used to temporarily hold a board horizontally across
the inside of the tail boom. Another board is then laid between the access hole
in the rear of the baggage bay and the horizontal board, providing a
"scaffold" of sorts to allow access into the tail boom without laying on the pitch
push-pull tube and rudder cables.
This seemed like a good idea to make access into the tail boom easier with
minimal weight penalty.

Good idea! Better idea is to keep out of that area!
It all worked out and just confirmed that a few less pounds body weight
wouldn't be a bad idea!

John,
Did mine that way about three years or so ago. It provides the
best way to get in the back either on your belly or back. I trimmed away
a bit on each side near the cross board so when I was on my belly I could
get my arms in a more vertical mode. The end which is in the cockpit has
a vertical board that is cut to match the tunnel so the board doesn't
move around. The board is adjusted in height to just clear the bottom of
the "D" opening.
Jim

Hello again to all,
I have been painstakingly pressing in the solid rivets (AN-470-AD4-10) into
many of the aileron control rods. I know the magic 150% number that the
finished "formed" head is supposed to be mashed to. But for the life of me the
best I
can get is .165" from a .125" (1/8")rivet. I even got a rivet squeezer from
ACS to make sure it came out right. But I still get average .155".
Now if I were simply riveting two pieces of flat metal together, I would know
there is a problem. But here, it's four surfaces being spanned by the rivet
(both sides of the tube and both sides of the rod end) with a hollow center.
I'm sure that the rivet is also mushrooming inside that center. But how can that
be prevented?
What have other people gotten when they have done this? Am I gonna be
drilling out lots of rivets in order to get these right? Damned this is fun!
