Brief Description: Rivet Top Channel to F706 Bulkhead
I riveted the side tabs of the aft end of the top channel to the web of the F706 bulkhead using the pneumatic squeezer. I then used cherrymax rivets for the two outboard rivet holes joining the top skin to the F706 bulkhead flange to the spacer to the top channel, leaving the 4 center holes clecoed for solid AN rivets. I didn't think I could reach a bucking bar into the corners of the channel to use solid rivets on the outboard holes. I don't know what I was thinking when I riveted the forward end of the top channel to the canopy frame. I used cherrymax rivets for the whole row. I decided to leave the outboard 2 cherrymax rivets in place like I did on the aft end and drill out the center 2 cherrymax rivets. These are just clecoed for now but will eventually get solid AN rivets.
