Riveting HS spars and ribs

Hours: 8 Manual Ref: Page 8-6 step 1; Page 8-10 step 2; Page 8-11 Partner: John Post

John is an early riser, so he came by the house about 7:30 and we got right to work. We spent most of the time preparing the last few parts of the HS structure for riveting, then actually riveting together the ribs. Also, now that the spars are all primed, I jumped back a few pages to complete the riveting on page 8-6. Those AN470AD4-9 and AN470AD4-10 rivets are monsters! It took quite a bit of effort even with the 3x gun. John took some pictures of me with his iPhone, but I don’t have them yet. I’ll have to update this post as soon as I get them.
