With the kind assistance of the kids, I managed to join the tail-cone onto the forward fuselage for the first time this evening, without too much fuss. Is there anything in particular that I should do (or know) before I finally attach the tail-cone for good.
Your guidance and wise words are as always much appreciated and thoughtfully accepted.
You folks are just amazing, the wealth of knowledge out there is countless and so freely shared, many thanks to you all.
Kind regards

My suggestion would be to install the static ports and the static system (at least to the T-connector).
I’d also run conduit down the left side of the tailcone from the F-1007, through the F-1008, and ending at the F-1009 bulkheads. This way you can pull wires and coax through the tailcone without crawling back in there again later.
After you get them joined it becomes a real PITA to crawl through the baggage door and down the tail cone. It gets even worse when you rivet the F-1028 Baggage Bulkhead Channel down the middle of the tailcone opening. The rear seatback brace couldn’t be in a worse spot for making the turn between the baggage door and tailcone.
If you’re a smaller framed guy, it might not be that bad. I am 6’ 3”, weigh 230lbs, and bend just about as well as a popsicle stick. I’m hoping I only have to crawl back there another 5-10 times before the project is done.

Be certain you have done all the work you want in the tailcone, like
install and hookup of static ports, something to pull the tail
light/strobe wiring through later, like string trimmer line. You will
have a fair amount of match drilling, followed by separating the two
pieces, deburring and dimpling before you start the riveting process.
Much of the riveting of the bottom sections is easier with a second
person to do the bucking.

If you are going to use Van's strobe/elt mount, put it in before you join the tail cone. Also if you are going to have a tray or shelf behind the baggage bulkhead for GADAHRS or magnetometers do it now. If you are going to have belly mount antennas put the doublers in now. Same with autopilot servos.
