Brief Description:  Riveted side and aft bottom skins

Riveted the left and right mid side skins to the sub structure. The AN470 rivets around the spar opening caused some headache so we made an L shaped bucking bar which could be held from outside the fuselage. Even so we decided to use blind rivets in the aft three bottom holes, instead of two as called for in the plans, as there just wasn't enough space for a bucking bar.

Riveted the aft side and bottom skins to the sub structure up to the F-810-1 bulkhead. The aft rivets will be done when we turn the fuselage upright.
