Empennage: Aft fuselage. Side skins cleco'd on.

With the aft deck in place, I cleco'd in the side skins.  As usual, space is at a premium for me.  The height of the aft empennage is 36 inches.  My front door has a width of 35 inches with the door off the hinges.  So if I tilt the aft fuse on its side with the side skins, it could be extracted from my hangar house since the former is slightly compressible with the top skin off.  I'll test this hypothesis before I rivet the side skins in place.  Otherwise, I'll finish riveting the side skins in the garage and hoist the assembly up to the rafters for storage (which is admittedly better than the couch).
