Tonight I put my new pop rivet dimple die to work, and installed the landing light brackets on the wings. This was the first time I worked on the QB wings themselves. I practiced with the pop riveter, getting a feel for just how much pressure can/should be applied. I snapped the shanks off a couple of nails before settling on the right amount of pressure (not much). I was able to get to all of the holes with both wings in the stands, but it was also obvious I’ll need these wings on a bench to finish the job.
With the dimples set and looking good, I went ahead and riveted the two brackets (one per wing). The rivets were easy enough to buck, even in the wing stand.
