Brief Description:  Rivet spar caps to rear spar (06-05)

Actually made a little progress today. Pulled my first rivets for the rear spar. The pneumatic puller works great, but not good next to the flange, so I switched to the hand puller...ouch, make sure to wear gloves. Also go to try out the wedge, which worked great, just make sure to set up a shield since the space is tight up against the spar flange.

Also set the small flush rivets at the lower spar cap, but one of them was sitting flat, so I drilled it out and tried it again (very carefully this time). Worked great. Still need to get the hang of squeezing rivets.
