Christine and I started the dreaded bottom skin riveting operation. We
riveted in an L shaped pattern starting in the rear as recommended in
the builder's manual. I still had to reach through holes too small for
my arms and bend my wrist at impossible angles. The pain. The pain. I
think doing the rear spar rivets first followed by the ones up to about
1/2 of the four wing walk ribs would be a lot easier though I am not
sure if it would be easy to control alignment creep. We through in the towel after having done about 1/2 the panel. The rest is a lot more accessible. I am pretty sure I won't have to bug Christine again to help. The second picture about is simply the result of me using the camera as an inspection mirror. There is no way to use one of those crappy little mirrors like the one I have to see the rear spar. This works a lot better. |
