Brief Description:  Aileron - Rivet skin top top of spar.

Thank goodness the tungston bucking bar came yesterday. None of my existing bucking bars that came with the Avery tool kit will do.

Image 1 shows the way I held the bucking bar inside the skin. I have this skinny LED light I stuck inside. This helped to inspect the rivet quality and to help line up the bucking bar. I used tape on each rivet. I started from the ends and worked towards the center. I was able to reach all the rivets except 4 in the center.

After a few rivets it became easy and quick. The tungston bucking bar proved itself today. I love it. glad I have it. It's long and aligns with the spar flange. All I had to do is press on it. I didn't have to hold it in any angle or position. Easy riveting.
