Step 07: Route a string from the forward end of the existing structure to the F-1211 Assembly. The string will go through the F-1238-L Snap Bushing Bracket, out through the left rudder control cable cutout. then back in through the right control cable cutout and through the F-1238-R Snap Bushing Bracket as shown in Figure 2. Return the end of the string to the forward end of the existing structure. Tape both ends of the string to the inside surface of the bottom skin. Builder Note:
This step will be preformed using my fiberglass pull rods at the time necessary.
Step 08: Place masking tape over all the holes that are within seven inches of the forward edge of each tailcone skin. The masked holes will be left open for the remainder of this section.

Builders Note: Leave clecos in all the holes that are within seven inches of the forward edge of each tailcone skin. This will help keep the alignment of the skins.

 Clecos moved to the inside after tailcone finished
.
Step 09: Rivet all of the open holes of the F-1280-L & R Left and Right Side Skins. Rivet only the holes in the F-1279-L & R Upper Left and Right Side Skins that are common to the left or right side skins.
