Short Description: Right leading edge (17-3)
|
Almost finished riveting the right leading edge. I wanted to get some help on the nose locates to make sure I don’t mess up. Speaking of messing up, I was cruising along riveting the ribs and I noticed one rib always seem to have trouble fitting the rivet prior to bucking, but I still managed to buck about 5 of them. The I realized I had never dimpled the holes on the rib…just on one side. I can’t believe I missed it after taking scotch-brite to the surface, priming and re-assemble. Anyway, I removed all the rivets from that one rib, maybe 10, pulled it out and added the dimple…then put it all back together.
I also deburred the fuel tank ribs in preparation for the next section.
