Project: Bovine-RV14A     -     Entry

Sep 05, 2023 4.5 Riveting top skin of HS Category: Tail Feathers
Progress continued on the Horizontal Stabilizer with me working on flush riveting the top skin. This work was actually done over several days as I had a spare moment, so this log entry is all of them combined. There's something like four different length rivets that I had to use, so it was important to keep track of which ones went where. I tried to stick with one size of rivet for as long as possible before moving on to the next size.

I've also been spending some time auditing which laser-cut parts I will need to consider re-ordering once Van's Aircraft opens up the new page. It looks like I may be pretty limited on what I can work on next, since most of the remaining assemblies have at least a few LCP that would prevent me from completing them.

What's next? Time to flush rivet the bottom skin, and then to attach the rear spar.
