With the primer coat looking ok, I proceeded to start riveting parts together. First up was the doubler plate on the front spar, then the rear spar doubler and hinge attach brackets. For the front spar plate I used the pneumatic squeezer. For the rear spar, the pneumatic squeezer wasn’t viable. The -6 and -7 rivets were too long for the pneumatic squeezer with the yokes I have, and the squeezer couldn’t develop enough power to squeeze the rivets. I need a yoke with a wider throat to allow me to use it with those longer rivets. So I used the hand squeezer to do all the rear spar rivets. It came out looking good.
