Brief Description:  Turtledeck Former Riveting

Riveted the turtledeck formers to the turtledeck skins. This went pretty quickly, since all the alignment was done prior to drilling and I just had to put the rivets in. I worked the #5 former first, then the #1s, then #4, #3, and #2...the same order the plans had me drill them.

The formers fit very tight against the skin, but there are some gaps at the front of the former flanges where the skin and flanges do not precisely match in angle. Sones assures me there is no structural issue with it, but I don't like the way it looks, and may try to devise a way to make it look better (which would entail drilling out and re-setting a number of rivets).
