Brief Description:  Rivet R outboard skin

Whoo-Hoo—right outboard skin all riveted to wing. Good friend and fellow RV-7 builder Richard C. came over and together we riveted the entire right skin in about 4 hours. I ran the gun and Richard skillfully bucked the rivets. We shot about 289 rivets-only had to drill out 5 or 6 that didn’t pass muster. Put a few dings in the skin, but nothing to be upset over. Oops, not quite done-still need to squeeze the rivets in the very trailing edge that tie the skin to the flap brace, but this is easy stuff. Thanks again, Richard!
