Brief Description: Left wing bottom skin riveting #1
|
|
After prepping the inboard skin, priming it, and dimpling it, I moved forward with attaching the bottom right inboard skin. I also counter sunk the flap brace as well
The outboard rib was clecoed and the tedious proces of riveting the four wing walk ribs to the rear spar started. It's tight and a lot of work doing it on your own. I peeled the skin back carefully, clecoed the hole in front of where I wanted to rivet and went at it.
After the first bay was done, I repeated the process and moved to the right and completed all four wing walk ribs.
Once that was done, I countinued riveting the rear spar rivets first, peeling back the skin, and then riveting the rib to the skin, working may way from the main spar to the rear spar.
I started the outboard bottom skin, but called it a night. My arm took a beating!
