Today, for the first time, my parents could visit the workshop. My dad volunteered to help buck the wingskin rivets. After some practice he did a great job. We only drilled out two rivets, the first one by being very picky to show him how it is done and the second one because I let slip the bucking bar, damageing the shophead. After two hours, we only have some rivets to set on the outboard skin. The rivets on the rear spar and most inboard rib can be riveted solo as they are accessible with the squeezer. Working time on this subpart Today : 2h (Total : 12h) |
