Brief Description: Ooopps -Should have left some rivets out
Once the skins were completely riveted to the spars and ribs, the rear spar was riveted to the ribs. These could be done with the pneumatic squeezer on everything except for the center HS-708 ribs. These had to be blind riveted to the rear spar. Once all of this was complete, I took a step back to take another look at the plans to make sure I didn't miss anything. I found that I had one more hole to drill in the front-spar for the trim cable. This was a 5/8 in. hole drilled with the unibit. I also discovered that I had riveted 10 holes along the HS-404 and HS-405 ribs on the top skin. These holes should have been left open for riveting the fairing between the fuselage and horizontal stabilizer in place later. I was bummed but as it turned out, I was able to drill these rivets out with the Avery rivet removal tool without buggering up or enlarging the holes. I lucked out.
Riveting complete! - actually too complete
10 holes on the HS-404 and 405's should be left open for fairing
Drilled these 10 rivets out - didn't even bugger up the holes!
