Brief Description:  Riveting the VS

The rear spar assembly was clecoed together including the rudder hinge brackets. The holes attaching the ribs were taped over to prevent inadvertantly putting a rivet where its not supposed to go yet, and then everything was riveted together per the rivet layout on the plans. Then the ribs were riveted to the front spar. The skin came next. Starting at the intersection of VS-707 and Vs-702 I riveted towards the tip, then to the root, then along VS-707 starting at the front and riveting towards the rear spar. Once this was done the rear spar assembly was installed and riveted together ending with the blind rivets attaching the rear spar to VS-707. This was by far the easiest assembly of the project so far.
