Brief Description:  Replace ERROR Rivets in QB Fuse

1324 - 1430

After trying to fit the cabin top, I re examined the QB fuselage in this area. I noted that AN470 rivets were used on the F-1042 and F-1005C parts. This made very little sense, as the cabin top channels should sit nearly flat on these surfaces. Going back through the slow build fuselage plans, I noted on the 25-7 figure 2 page and the 29-12 figure 2 page, the specified rivets for these locations are actually AN426 flush rivets. This work session, therefore, was spent carefully drilling the 14 QB rivets out, and installing the correct AN 426 rivets.

Drill AN470 rivet heads using #32 drill.

Shear the head off using hammer and punch.

Punch the rivet shank out using punch.

Machine countersink for flush rivets.

Install AN426 rivets using 3x gun and tungsten bars.
