Brief Description:  Pushrods - Part 2

Drilled the steel tubing for the aileron pushrods. Had a very hard time with the drill bits but eventually got it all done.

Inserted the -12 rivets and squeezed. What a disaster. For the most part, the standard -12 rivets bent over. Those that didn't end up bending ended up shearing off.

After checking the forums, found out this is a common issue. Ordered new rods and parts.

Off to Chicago next week so pick up when I get back.
