(10-4 step 2):  I wasn't able to contribute to airplane building today, but Angela did just fine without me.  She continued on with the tailcone.  Even though she's excited about being on a new section she's come to a conclusion that she doesn't like deburring bulkheads!  They have lots of edges ;-)  So, after suffering through the F-1010 bulkhead she then clamped the horizontal stabilizer attachment bracket in place and match drilled the 7 holes that'll be used to attach it.  This angle bracket is where the front half of the horizontal stabilizer will attach to the tail of the aircraft.

(10-4 step 3):  After the F-1010 bulkhead next came the F-1008 bulkheads.  (we're basically working from the rear to the front of the plane)  This one is big enough that it comes in 2 pieces, a left and right.  Angela once again slaved through the deburring process, and then clecoed the 2 sides together.  At the bottom joint the F-1085 rudder cable bracket is also attached.  Once all clecoed together the common holes were final drilled.
