Top skin removal
Finished riveting the firewall gussets. I couldn’t reach the forward most 2 rivets on the longerons with the regular yoke, so I just bucked them.
The canopy decks are all painted, so I riveted them together and clecoed them to the fuselage along with the gussets. I tried to figure out a combination of squeezer yokes that would work, but they are going to need bucking.
The last thing I did for the day was remove the top skins. With those off, I could finish the last two rivets on the aft deck and rivet on the F-709 bulkhead.
Lots of random stuff all over the place today. Unfortunately, there’s not much visual progress lately. Lots is getting done, though.
