6 hours: Aft fuse riveting, preparing to move  

Properly motivated to spend less time in the tailcone, I came up with some new ideas for how to rivet it from the outside, and managed to finish most of it. The only area I can't reach is one bulkhead back from the baggage wall.

Regardless, I did have to spend some more time in there to replace the static tubing with the proper material from the Safeair kit, and to do a few big rivets on the bulkheads.

Lots of cleanup, securing nuts and bolts, clearing stuff out of the airplane, wiring cleanup, replacing panels, etc, etc...4 days left till the move.
