Coming down with the aft fuselage

Decided to go ahead with locating the vertical fin fairing.


Next I had to locate and drill some more shear clips toward the back.  This went fairly easy, even the ones below the longerons.


Now to remove the cargo bay skins and install the access doors.  They don't lay perfectly flat and so I'll have to tweak them a little.


Here is the cargo bay without the skins.  It is time to drill out the stiffeners.


Stiffeners drilled and removed.


And now the first three bulkheads come out.

All this stuff needs to be deburred now.  What joy!!
