Brief Description:  Squeezing H Stab Rivets LH/RH

Continued to work this morning and cleco'd the rear spar into place and cleco'd the end ribs (root and end) to the skins. The only riveting left is around the edges so I get to squeeze these (which is always preferable to bucking rivets with a rivet gun as it is much more controlled). Squeezed all the rivets into the end ribs on the RH side (top and bottom) and I have the inboard ribs riveted on the LH side. Not much more to go and this sub assembly is done!!!!
