Tonight I continued riveting together the Vertical Stabilizer. The rivets along the forward spar flange are easier to reach since you can lift up the skin to get access. I had a few little dings inside where my bucking bar rubbed a little on the spar web, but overall I was happy with every rivet. Towards the end of the night, I began riveting the edges of the top and bottom rib flanges. For these, I could use my pneumatic squeezer, which was immensely easier and faster. I'm really getting excited to have my first official plane part completed!
