| Brief Description: |
More spar riveting |
|
|
I drove over 120 rivets tonight. Prior nights I had put in 10 or 20 rivets at a time and then added the rivet tape. All of that necessitated turning over the spar several times. Tonight I got smart and set up all the rest of the top spar rivets and added the rivet tape. When I was done with those I set up ALL the rivets along the bottom spar at once. Doing so allowed me to set over 100 rivets in fairly short order. A reminder that I'm currently only driving the standard rivets, and not the flush rivets. Those are next. I then set the bolts for the wing tie down and torqued them. Lastly I set up the next 16 standard rivets. Tomorrow I'll set up and drive the flush rivets. 688 total hours on the project so far. |
