I riveted the rudder cable fairings into place. I assembled the remote compass bracket and drilled it into the fuselage. Monica helped by putting in clecos from the outside while I drilled.

I removed the elevator bell-crank and pushrod. I installed the wooded floor left over from when I built the fuselage.

Christine and I then dimpled the holes in the skin. I had one of the dies set in a hole in a bucking bar and Christine had the other in the C-Frame die holder. She pounded the holder with a hammer while I "bucked". We then riveted the bracket in place.

While I was back in the fuselage I pulled through the compass cable, rebuilt the DB-9 connector and installed it. I also attached the shoulder harnesses.
