Brief Description:  First skin riveting

It's amazing how little one can accomplish in 2 hours some times.

I'm learning how to rivet on actual airplane parts. Maybe not smart, but I'm going slow and learning fast. Doing the flush skin rivets now. Had to drill out the sixth rivet I drove and redo it. There is another, actually the first, that the head isn't real tight in the dimple, so I'll drill it out tomorrow and drive a new one.

Kind of stuck for tonight as I need some drivers to put in the rivet gun. I knew I needed them, but procrastinated on buying them. I'll get them tomorrow from Wag Aero if they have them. They're right down the road in Lyons, WI. About 30 minutes away.

My rivet gun, a 4X I think, is easy to throttle back with air pressure regulator adjustment. It'll do fine.

Hope to have the Horizontal Stab assembly complete by the end of the comming weekend.
