Tonight I set a few more rivets, including the first few rivets that actually joined the two halves of the fuselage. Up to this point the riveting has been aft fuse to bulkhead, tonight I worked forward and started riveting the two side skins together. I had to fiddle around a cut a couple of rivets to -5.5 size, since -5 seemed a bit too short. With all the layers being riveted, and all of them being primed, I’m going with slightly longer rivets to make sure they have a good shop head.
