Tonight I set up and practiced with my pneumatic pop rivet gun. I cut and drilled some scrap aluminum and then set half a dozen pop rivets. The gun is so easy to use, I can’t believe I bothered with the hand riveter. Instead of two to three squeezes, a single trigger pull sets the rivet and pops out the stem. Within 5 minutes I set the remaining 8 pop rivets in the top of the rudder, all of them set perfectly. With that done, the next step is back riveting the trailing edge, then rolling the leading edge, and the rudder will be done.
Yeah I could have done with a pneumatic rivet gun when I was making masts etc
It looks small enough to get into awkward spaces
Glad you have been able to complete some of the parts.
