Brief Description: Cleaned Scotchweld and riveted left elev
The only bad thing about using scotchweld is it takes alot longer to clean out the hole before setting the rivets......still not sure if its worth it.
I worked on riveting the left elevator today. I started by cleaning out each hole from the excess scotchweld and then set all of the rivets . The only rivet I had trouble with is the last rivet on the trailing edge of rib703. The no-hole yoke doesnt really fit in the tight space. I pre squeezed the rivet so it just fit in the hole and care fully squeezed the rivet. Then I used a punch to lightly set the rivet down and re-squeezed it the final way......seems to work out, plus it all gets covered in fiberglass anyway (maybe I should of just used pop rivets instead)
I put scothchweld on the 606 spar and small riblet I made and installed it into the skin. I then cleaned things up and installed the clecoes. Tomorrow Ill get that all riveted together.
