Step 1: Flip the tailcone over on the sawhorses. Cleco the F-1011 Bulkhead and the F-1079 Aft Bottom Skin to the F-1078 Forward Bottom Skin and the F-1073-R side skin as shown in Figure 1. Cleco the F-1012A & B Bulkheads to the aft bottom skin and side skin.

Note: Deburr and clear away chips at all appropriate stages

Step 2: Position the remaining F-1047C, D and E Stiffeners in the notches of the frames and bulkheads, then cleco the F-1073-L side skin to the frames and bulkheads, to the F-1078 Forward Bottom Skin, and to the F-1079 Aft Bottom Skin.

Step 3: In the same manner as the F-1047C, D and E Stiffeners on the  F-1073 Right Side Skin were located and match-drilled, locate and match-drill the F-1047C,D and E Stiffeners on the F1073 Left Side Skin. These stiffeners are now dedicated left side parts.

Step 6: Make the F-1056 Rudder Stop Brace from a length of AA6-.063x3/4x3/4 angle using the dimensions in figure 4.  

Step 7: Position the F-1056 Rudder Stop Brace against the F-1012A Bulkhead web, centered between the two F-1055 Rudder stop Skin Stiffeners as shown in Figure 5. The angled flange of the brace rests under the flanges of the stiffeners.

Make sure the tailcone is not twisted by placing a level across the top of the F-1073 Side skins in two places (near the front of the side skins and the F-1012 Bulkhead), then clamp the brace to the stiffeners. Hold the brace against the bulkhead, then match-drill the four holes of the bulkhead into the brace (watch your fingers!) using a #40 drill. Cleco the brace back into position. Match-drill the two holes in each stiffener into the brace using a 12" long #30 drill.
