Today marks the end of major airframe construction on N728PK (rsvd). The top forward skin has been installed for good. All but the longeron rivets between the subpanel and the firewall, and several rivets on the subpanel flanges nearsest the longerons used solid rivets. Used CherryMAX CR3212-4-04 for the 14 1/8" longeron rivets nearest the firewall. The other 18 longeron rivets were drilled out #30 and CR3214-4-04 rivets were used there. A total of 12 skin to subpanel flange rivets were used. Seven on the right side, where the glove box prevented bucking bar access to 2 rivets I could get on the left side.
Estimated hours from work done 11-15 November 2016 as well as today.
