Dave’s RV-7A Building Log

I finished up the HS rear spar and started on the front spar. This time, the instructions didn’t give any warning about not riveting every hole in the front spar. It did have a nice warning about the flush rivets. I need to watch the plans much more carefully. I’ve learned my lesson. Drilled out 8 rivets. At least I’m getting very good at that. I had some trouble getting the pneumatic squeezer into the tight spots to attach HS-405 to the front spar. Juggling the dies around, I got one combination to work.
