Worked on riveting the rear spar to the ribs on the left wing around noon today. I spent about :30 of the time setting up the pneumatic squeezer. My friend Greg Schroeder, who is building a Sportsman 2+2, went in half with me on a nice pnuematic squeezer and various yokes. I had never used one before and this one doesn't have an adjustable holder so I had to play around with my different lengths of rivet sets for each length of rivet I would be squeezing today -5, -6, -7, -8s. It works beautifully and I can't image how I would have gotten done this quick grunting it out with the hand squeezer. This is a MUST HAVE tool, imho! Left wing skeleton complete.
Using the new toy to squeeze those pesky AD4s rivets.
Compelete - the cleco's left in are intentional when other items are added to the trailing edge.
