Brief Description: Finished riveting the HS today.
I visited local RV-7A builder, Carsten Schanche, in Londonderry, NH. He's working on the finish kit of his project, and his project looks great. I have alot of work ahead of me to get to where he is. I brought my nearly finished HS for him to critique. I had not riveted the rear spar in place as I wanted him to take a look inside at my rivets, and give me some feedback. He's not a certified tech counselor, but he has installed many rivets. He mentioned that mine look good, and I should feel comfortable about installing the rear spar for good. So that's what I did when I returned home.
Squeezing rivets for final rear spar install.
More rivet squeezing.
Peeling off the blue plastic. Not sure if I'll be so aggressive with the scotchbrite on the next assy
