F-706 Bulkhead Complete

Today we finished up the F-706 bulkhead.  This is the first bulkhead in a series of a few that form the "tail cone" at the back of the plane.  This one also has the bellcrank that will connect the control sticks to the elevators.
We started out by manufacturing more pieces of aluminum angle and match drilling those to the ribs.  After that we went through the normal sequence of assembly, match drilling, deburring, prepping and priming for all the parts.  Finally we assembled the bulkhead.
