Oct 24, 2022     Rt wing top skin       Category: Wings
Today I riveted on the right wing top skin and the aux tank. It took me awhile but it was straight forward. The only thing that I changed is the plans had me trimming some 8mm long pull rivets down to 5.2mm long. I felt this was a pain for 100 plus rivets and decided to use solid rivets. The reason to trim the rivets was to avoid interference with the tails of the rivets and the flap skins. I did trim 1 rivet and pull it in place to measure the length of the tail. I forget what the measurement was but I then set a solid rivet and the tail was even shorter than the pull rivet so I am confident that I am good to go. Luckily I had a squeezer so I didnt have to buy any extra tools and the entire aft edge is done with solid rivets and the squeezer.
