Brief Description: Riveted aft fuselage bottom skin
|
|
Today Steve graciously agreed to stop by and help rivet the bottom skin, but due to my ever changing plans, I had to cancel on him. In between other commitments, I found a little time to rivet the skin on. Initially, I thought I could do it by myself, but that quickly proved difficult, so I enlisted Anna...she now joins her sisters as official assistant builders. This project has been an exercise in learning, and then relearning, various lessons. Today was another one--riveting goes much faster with a partner, the rivets look much better (at least in my case) with a partner, and I have to drill out far fewer when I have a partner...all's well that ends well. The lower aft fuselage is done and now it's on to the center section.
