April 27, 2004 - Riveting the Rudder |
||||
| Here I am riveting the Rudder skin to the spar and ribs with the "Main Squeeze" tool. I was banned from the basement by my kids on this Friday night; I'm upstairs on the kitchen table. | ||||

It's hard to see in this picture, but I put a slight bend
in the top leading edge with the edge-roller tool. The slight bend is
supposed to help the overlapping leading edge lay tight when I curl the
leading edges together. The tool worked well; no problems.

| This is a shot of the inside of the control horn strut. I was somehow able to get the hand-squeezer in there and do mostly rivets instead of pop-rivets. | ||||
