Drew the rivet hole centerline along all the stiffeners. Cut the two 3/4x3/4 angles to form the longerons.  Bent the F-1032-R/L longerons in the table vice and used the F-1073 skins as a guide for the bend.  Used the rivet holes to gauge the bend – worked well:

Spent the rest of the work session messing with my practice kit trailing edge in prep to rivet the elevator trailing edges.  I bought a few extra flat sets with the intent of squeezing the elevator trailing edges vs. the back rivet/flat set that I used on the rudder.  I messed with it for quite a while and am still not sold on using the squeezer – probably just use the traditional method.

Clecoed the F-1007 and F-1008 frames and the F-1010 bulkhead to the F-1078 forward bottom skin.  Slid the two F-1074F stiffeners through the notches in the frames.  Centered the rivet hole centerline of both stiffeners and match-drilled both stiffeners to the F-1078 forward bottom skin:

Slid the F-1047G stiffener through the notches in the frames and match-drilled to the F-1078 skin.  Clecoed and match-drilled the F-1029L/R bellcrank ribs to the F-1078 skin:

  Positioned the F-1047C/D/E stiffeners in the frame and bulkhead notches. Clecoed the F-1073-R side skin to the frames, bulkheads, and F-1078 skin.

Clecoed the F-1011 and F-1012A/B bulkheads to the side skin.  Had a heck of a time getting the F-1011 to fit – had the bulkhead in and out probably 15 times!!!  Flipped the tailcone and match-drilled the F-1047C/D/E stiffeners to the F-1073-L side skin:

Clecoed the F-1055R/L rudder stop skin stiffeners to the F-1073R/L side skins.  Made the F-1056 rudder stop brace and placed it against the F-1012A bulkhead web.  Match-drilled the four holes of the bulkhead into the brace:

Clecoed the F-1006 bulkhead to the F-1073L/R, F-1078, and F-1029L/R bellcrank ribs.  Final-drilled the holes common to the bulkhead and bellcrank ribs.  Clecoed the F-1028 baggage bulkhead channel to the F-1029R bellcrank rib and to the F-1006 bulkhead. Final-drilled the top holes common to the bulkhead:
