Brief Description:	Riveting forward fuselage
Spent the last 2 nights riveting the forward fuselage together. Riveted it in the order listed in the plans worked well. The only issue I had was that the upper firewall WILL fit backwards, and of course I originally had it on backwards. Fortunately, I noticed it looked goofy with the gas filler tube on the wrong side before I had it completely riveted in place - only had to drill out 10 rivets. I have learned one thing while building this plane; when drilling out rivets, use the electric drill (not the battery one) because it spins much faster, and when drilling out rivets push hard and get through the rivets quick, or else they'll start spinning on you.
