At first glance, it looks like I don't have much left to do in the aft section of the Cabin Area, but in actually there is a mountain of small tasks that need to still happen before I can prime and assemble. I need to drill the nutplates in the F-767 attach plate. (I deviated from plans and put them at a 45...don't ask why, I just did).
One item that I haven't addressed yet is countersinking and dimpling the canopy deck/side rails. Doing a little research on this, there's not much out there to say how other builders did this area (Countersink the longerons, or the canopy deck). Seems like builders have done both from what I can tell. I reference a couple of different builders build logs regularly and they both have countersunk the longerons so that's the path I will stick to. As usual though, setting up the countersink depth for nested material is always a painful process. I never like this part as its a bit too much guess and test for my liking.
Once all the countersinking is done, all of the canopy deck/side rails could then be dimpled.
