Apparently I've consumed too much caffeine and am second guessing the fuse skin order near the F-807 bulkhead. Currently I have the order (from inside to outside on the right side) as:

F-807 bulkhead, F-842 bottom skin, F-823 right fwd skin, F-824 right aft skin

Can someone please confirm (or set me straight.)

Thank you in advance,

Without looking at your manual or plans, the skins should be put on so they overlap from the top down and fwd aft.

This will keep water from working its way in when sitting on the ground or in flight.

Thus the bottom skin first, then the sides, and finally the top.

When joining the tail cone, those skins slide inside the forward section.

Thanks Bill! That would make the corrected order:

F-807 bulkhead, F-842 bottom skin, F-824 right aft skin, F-823 right fwd skin

This is an extremely tight fit just with clecos. I imagine it will be more difficult once dimpled.
