Brief Description: Install Rear Spar and Rivet Skin to Spar and end r
Started the day by re-riveting the outboard elevator hinges on the HS rear spar since I had removed them some time ago due to bad riveting technique. Now that I have a new longeron yoke for the pneumatic squeezer, they went on much easier. Was sure glad I put in those other two holes in the center though just to make sure they remain correctly positioned. After that was done, I installed the rear spar and got to riveting. Completed all the rivets from skin to spar and skin to ribs. I also riveted the end ribs to the rear spar, but still have to rivet the inboard ribs and the middle ribs to the rear spar - a starting point for tomorrow!
Better riveting technique installing the elevator hingses
Results in better looking and more consistent rivets
At the end of the day all the clecos were gone - replaced by rivets
