Another riveting session tonight. I am almost done with this step, which is the top half of the skin. I decided to stop where I am, so I can have my tech councilor come over and review my wiring runs and everything else on the wing before I close it up completely. It was easier than I expected to get these rivets in, and they all set well with no need to replace any of them.
I think the bottom half of the skin may prove tougher to rivet, as I’ll have less ability to flex the skin as I get further towards the bottom.
Given I’m going to wait for my tech visit, I’m going to move on to the next section which is flap installation, then aileron install and actuation.
