Brief Description: Riveting leading edge ribs to main spar/ row of ri
|
|
Removed the top and bottom skins from the left wing frame. Placed the leading edge on the frame, clecoed the leading edge ribs on to the main spar. Now the part of how to get inside the leading edge and rivet the ribs on the spar. I had a friend come over to help with this. The 2 most outboard rebs were easy access, and riveted on with not much drama. I placed the rivet gun inside the leading edge, reached up thru the spar holes, pulled down on the gun while my friend bucked from below. All went well on the 2 inboard ribs. I could reach thru the stall warner access hole and the end rib and use the rivet gun while bucking from below. Now the hard ribs, the 3rd rib from the tip, with a little patience, I could reach inside the ribs from the back of the main spar. The holes are smaller then the ones at the tip end, but, I could get one hand in each hole on both sides of the rib and hold the rivet gun while the rivet was bucked from below. The 3rd rib from the tank side, I could not reach from either end. No access holes on the Spar, and could not reach with a bucking bar or the rivet gun. This rib is installed with LP4-3 pull rivets.
