Brief Description: Big screw up on the riveting.
|

Next step is where I messed things up. I didn't folllow the instructions for whatever reason (DUMBASS) and I riveted the R-405 to the R-802 with the R-717, and R-704, BUT, I also riveted the R-710 into position...why??? I wasn't thinking.
I tried to then rivet the R-710, through the round hole using the offset AN470 rivet set. I screwed both 4-7 rivets up and added smilies...I tried to remove them, and then elongated the holes....ARGHHHHHH
DAMN...I was furious. I walked away to get it together, reviewed the plans and checked the sites. I realized my mistake, but now had an elongated hole in the R-710, R-405, and R-802.
I ended up, drilling the hole larger for both bad rivets and added a AN470AD5-7 for both of the mistakes...they actually turned out well...I was lucky!
