Subpanel riveting

This is the kind of riveting I do not like. Lots of very limited access and difficult angles. I started out trying to use the squeezer, but it was one rivet with this yoke and then one rivet with that yoke and then switch rivet sets, etc. I just went for it with the 3X gun. Much easier, but still not fun with the garage near 80 degrees and me in ear muffs. The rivets on the F-902 right under the canopy deck are particularly unfun. The subpanel structure is mostly riveted in at this point. I can’t wait to get the panel in and start fitting everything together and wiring it up.
