| (8-13 step 2): The
next step was to rivet the skin to the front spar flanges. We
knew we wouldn't be finishing this tonight so we picked a select set of
them to do before calling it a night. We basically chose to do
the 1/8 rivets on one side (1/8 due to the holes we mis-drilled in the
spar flange). We stuck with our tried and true system... Angela
shooting, me bucking, and the results were good. We're definitely
getting more proficient! Can't wait to do a little more in a day
or two! We'll have to order some more AN426AD4-6 rivets
though. There aren't very many supplied in either the wing kit,
nor the emp/tailcone kit, and we pretty much blew our supply
tonight! Currently we don't even have enough to do the other side
of the horizontal stabilizer. |
