Aft fuselage

Drilled and reamed the holes for the bolts, and a few leftovers on the formers and angles.

Only deburring, dimpling, priming and riveting left :-)
- and four holes for the bolts also need to be drilled.

Things are stating to shape up. Have to cleco together the stuff to find out how it fits together.

Countersunk all the holes for the bottom skin.

Drilled more holes for bolts and rivets on the aft fuselage. The bottom skin is supposed to be riveted on late in the build process, but I have to dimple and countersink, and that is easiest to do when the fuselage can be laid upside down.

The predrilled holes in the elevator trim mechanism does not fit the predrilled holes in the fuselage. This means there will be too mane holes drilled, so I decided to leave out three of the holes.
