Now that I've done the things in the aft end of the fuselage that needed to be done before I close up the top skins, I think I'm ready to rivet these on. I want to rivet them now so I can use flush rivets near the roll bar bulkhead. Then I can rivet that bulkhead and the canopy deck. If I rivet those before these top skins I'll end up with difficult access to about 6 rivets along the forward edge. Also I could have issues with not clearing enough material from a part of the bulkhead to clear the shop heads.
So I'm going to look at other logs and see if there is any reason why I should not rivet these now.
