HS riveting
Julie helped me knock out the rest of the rivets in the field of the HS today. I cleco’ed on the rear spar, and squeezed the rivets around the outside, except for the rear spar rivets. I want the EAA Technical Advisor to be able to look inside the HS, so I’ll leave the rear spar until after he comes by.
I was pretty successful with the squeezer. I had to drill out the first rivet I set, but was more careful after that. You just need to make sure the squeezer is parallel with the rivet. Since I just received the no-hole/thin-nose yoke Friday, I used that for the rivets way in the leading edge. I then left it on and did all of the rest of the rivets with it. That’s a pretty handy yoke.
Very cool to have the HS basically done.
