Right wing skeleton riveting
Riveted together the right wing skeleton. Solo riveted the ribs to the main spar and squeezed the rear spar rivets. The rear spar is tricky. Lots of holes to leave empty and lots of different rivet sizes. I smilied a few rivets, mainly when the duct tape on the rivet set was worn out. I generally replaced the tape every 5 rivets, but forgot occasionally. Having the tape covering the business end of the rivet set really helps keep it from slipping off.
Started working on the wing cradle, but realized I need a few more 2×4s.
Also deburred the aileron gap fairing and started deburring the flap brace. I test fit the flap brace to the rear spar, and noticed that it doesn’t fit very well. There are two notches like on the stiffeners, so I think part of it needs to be removed. There’s nothing in the instructions or plans about it. Looking on Dan’s site, I found one picture with that area removed. I guess I’ll go ahead and trim it.
Flap brace is trimmed and partially deburred. With the band saw, belt sander, and Scotch-brite wheel, a trimming job like that takes about 5-10 minutes.
