The tail cone has two double bulkheads and a pre-bent very thick .040 skin. When assembled the whole deal is very rigid. The main manufacturing work is to cut a mousehole to accommodate the tail wheel spring entering the aft fuselage. The plan provides a sample shape, which I traced and made. The skin rubbed the steel tail spring tube weldment, so I cut a lot more, aligned the assembly with the fuselage skin and started drilling. Now after drilling I found a heap of misaligned holes, which had been hidden by the three layers of outer skin, lower thick skin and stiffener. Not impressed. Found that the mousehole was still not big enough, and the spring weldment was still holding the tail lower skin half a hole diameter lower than it should be. Rats, so I had to elongate the mousehole forward by 1.5 inches to get the skin clear of the weldment, so the skin could move up a bit. Not impressed, but solved the misalignment, but had to re-drill and dimple/countersink for oversized -4 rivets. Remedy, cut the mousehole very much bigger than the plan shows, to ensure you have daylight between thick skin and the weldment under very tight cleco pressure. Then marry it to the fuselage and drill.

They brought up the new line and router yesterday on a test subnet and today the ISP switched over connectivity about 12 noon with little to no incident. I just finished some performance testing, and it appears that actual throughput and interactive response is noticeably improved as advertised! Enjoy! Matt Dralle Matronics Email List Admin.
