Brief Description: Started riveting the left flap
|
|
Took several short breaks from working to get the rest of the left flap internal parts cleaned and primed. I would run outside and spray them, then come back and work awhile while they dried, then turn them over and repeat the process.
After going to Roswell to play trivia, which we try to do every Tuesday night, I got home and could not resist driving a few rivets, so I clecoed the skins and ribs together, leaving out the spar in order to be able to reach inside, and drove the first few rivets joining the top and bottom skins. It is a tight fit getting my hand down inside the flap to buck the rivets. Thank goodness for Steve's tungsten bucking bar, it is about the only one that will reach inside.
Noticed that the bar was chipping the primer on the inside, so put some duct tape on the end and it improved somewhat. I will probably spray some more primer on the inside when I get done riveting.

Damn, I hate it when I hold the rivet gun crooked.
