Brief Description:  Right Main Spar - Solid Rivetting

"For the hawk eyed amongst you I have had a break due summer holiday to France and UK. kids still off school so only a basic amount of work been done here. School goes back in Sept 1st.

Having paced around this job for a few days trying to size it up in relation to be able to do it properly and not ruining the work done already, I finally decided to jump in and have a go. I started with the flush rivets at the spar root and wokred my way out from there. I did do a couple of practice flush rivets on some scrap with my back rivet set from Spruce. this tool works quite well but this does need some practice and concentration and refinement of technique. I will have to drill out about 6 rivets from about 50 put in due to not being held firmly enough with the bucking bar but that is expected at this stage and another good skill to learn (although not too often please).

It really holds the spar pieces in together strongly and adds strength to the piece.

I previuosly put all the bolts in the spar before rivetting to secure the various attachments and stiffeners in place.

Photos to follow."
