Brief Description: Riveting of the fuselage begins
Started the riveting process today. My goal of "flipping the canoe" before I deploy is still attainable. Unfortunately the weather is not cooperating and its going to be in the 90s today. I started early with the intent of quiting during the heat. First step was riveting the F-704H bulkhead to the side skin (F-770.) I could tell I haven't riveted in awhile, two needed to be drilled out ( no photos of that part.)
Next was riveting the various sub-components together prior to putting the side skins back on. So the order of work was the F-684 gussets, the F-7101 gear attach web (photo 1) and the F-719 stffiner and attaching clip in photo 3. Then the side skins went back on. All that does not seem like 4.0 hours of work, but it was. Knocked off due to the heat. If it cools off this evening I will be back.
