It's been a while since I've done much. I'm still waiting on Aircraft Spruce to send me more primer so I can prime and assemble the center section. I called them and they said they haven't received any primer from Stewart because of the cold temps (it's a waterborne primer, so freezing is an issue), but they could have Stewart drop ship it to me with a heat pack. Not sure why they didn't tell me that originally when I called, but oh well. I have always bought the primer directly from Stewart, but this time chose not to simply because I had a big order with Aircraft Spruce and it was already enough to be free shipping. I figured why not just order primer from them? What could go wrong? I'll give it a few more days and if I don't receive the primer I'll probably just go the rattle can route so I can keep moving.
Today I got Rosie the Riveter to help me with the bottom/side skin joint of the tailcone. It went very quickly - maybe an hour to get the entire thing done. She's quick with those rivets! I do still need to rivet the curved portions at each bulkhead. I tried back riveting the curves, but the angle of it caused me to mess up almost every rivet. I'll have to drill 3 or 4 out and redo them with the gun and bucking bar.
