SECTION 32: TAILCONE ATTACHMENT

Hints

• Stack at floor joint from bottom to top:
  • fuse skin (F-1077)
  • tailcone skin (F-1078)
  • bulkhead (F-1006B)
  • rib tabs (e.g. F-1019-R)
• Use plastic wedges to guide the tailcone bottom skin to go above (inside) the fuselage bottom skin, e.g. at Amazon
• Use two thin strips of aluminum (3/4 inch wide) in the bottom corner sections to guide the tabs of the tailcone to go inside the fuselage skin.
• Use an inflated 20 inch truck inner tube underneath the fuselage center to lift the fuselage slightly, allowing a swivel motion within the fuselage cradle constraints e.g. at Amazon
