Continuing on the Tailcone

I continued on with the tailcone today.  I got the rear bulkhead clecoed in after I did the measurements on the stabilator. 








 Then I put the trim wire in.  Like a lot of people, I do not like the way that the wire rubs on the J channel at the rear of the plane.  I think that is just a problem waiting to happen.  I solved that problem by sliding the wire through some vinyl tube.  Looks like it should hold the life of the plane



I also do not like the wire running down the J channel and under the sharp bulkheads so I ran it through a small piece of vinyl tubing at each sharp point





Then I put in the Pitot system




The rest of the day was just fitting and riveting
