Brief Description:  Skin Riveting Right Stab. Skin

Riveting went pretty smoothly. The lower center #2 rivet is a minor problem - needs review from Tom. Looks like too much material for the skin to pull flush to the rib. Possible solution is to drill out the front rivet, cinch down the #2 rivet, then over-drill the front rivet



This would have been easier with someone bucking. Created two small smiley faces. Fix in paint shop.



Left the rear spar and inside ribs out so Tom can inspect. It will be easy to clinch these down after inspection.



Drilled out the two front rivets on the center rib. Stretched skin tight. Re-riveted. This fixed the problem.



Touched up primer on inside of both skins.
