Sam Beale and I went out to dinner at the Downwind Cafe at Peachtree DeKalb Airport in Atlanta. We had jambalya, and it was delicious. Then, Sam came over and we finished riveting the left side aft skin. This side skin was more difficult than the right side skin because I had to buck the rivets inside of the fuselage. With the right side skin, I had the left side skin off of the skeleton and could easily reach through to buck the rivets. It was like working inside a kettle drum. If it were not for the ear defenders, I would be deaf by now. Riveting went pretty smoothly. We are getting the rythm of driving and bucking rivets. Next we will start on the side middle skins which will surround the cockpit area. No photos tonight because the batteries in the camera expired.
