Hours Today: 1.5 Project Total: 113.9



(7-10 step 5):  Didn't do a whole lot tonight... Wanted to at least get something done so I riveted the rudder skins to the spar.  Basically clecoed every other hole, inserted a rivet in the open holes and went down the line with the squeezer.  Once those were set, I would pull a cleco out, put a rivet in, squeeze, and repeat... This proved to be a time killer!  I got a bit smarter (only a bit though) on the opposite side...  after the first set of rivets I did the no-brainer and pulled out all the clecoes at the same time, inserted all the rivets, and went down the line squeezing... duh!

A pic down the rivet-line.  The squeezer definitely does a nice job!

(7-10 step 6):  A quick look at the clock and I'm past my pre-determined stop time... but it won't take that long to put the counterbalance rib in real quick ;-)  Pop riveted it to the spar, and then riveted all but the front 3 holes along each flange.  Ok, now I'll turn in!
