Brief Description: Rivet center section bottom skin, tail bottom skin
I continued to rivet the center section bottom skin and set up everything for riveting with Wendy. I also finally bent the longerons. I've put this off long enough.....They turned out perfectly and I am very happy with the results. I used the method in the Orndorf DVD...bending both at the same time while clamped together. I also did the sharp bend (toward the firewall). I then placed, drilled and clecoed the aft deck to the top of the longerons. The bends are perfect! Wendy came home and helped me rivet for about an hour before we called it a night.....
