Brief Description:  Started to rivet

I finally got some real work done. Not really "ALL" that I do is real work.
The priming is for protection from the elements and to extend the life of the aircraft.
I am sure it will out last me.

I began with the right wing, since the epoxy primer on left ribs is still setting up.
I started by clecoing the main and rear spar to the ribs and making sure everything was supported.
I started the riveting process by removing the inner most ribs 1 and 2.
This way I had full access to rib number 3.
I then proceeded to rivet rib 3 to the main and rear spar, followed by rib 2 and then rib 1.
I used my double offset -4 rivet set with my 3x gun, with a setting of 45 psi. I found a 3 second busrt set the rivet nicely.
I used my rivet squeezer with the longeron yoke to set the rivets in the rear spar. Set to 90 psi.
I was only able to get the three inner most ribs installed, before calling it quits.
