Brief Description:  Leading Edge - Cherrymax Pulled Rivets

In preparation for attaching the leading edge to the spar, I ordered these rivets from Aircraft Spruce to be used to fasten the leading edge ribs to the main spar. These are Cherrymax rivets. They are pulled rivets that are suppose to be as strong as solid rivets.

10 CR3213-4-3, for the most outboard rib.
20 CR3213-4-2, for the next 2 ribs.
30 CR3213-4-4, for the 3 most inboard ribs.

I've modified a pulled rivet gun to help get into the tight spaces for these later.
