The rest of the riveting was pretty much straight forward. I learned a couple of things that I will apply to the right flap. One is that the factory heads for the rivets that join the back of the middle ribs to the lip (spar?) on the bottom skin.should probably be in front. I had a hard time getting a bucking bar inside the rib when I had the factory head on the back side. Also, I will rivet on the ribs to the bottom skin before riveting the bottom skin to the top skin. Riveting the ribs to the skin is a pain since there is so little room for my big ape-like hands.
Another lesson is that the advice in the manual to use a v-shaped holder is good advice. I didn't use this holder so I ended up having to drill out a couple of rivets when the back parts of the ribs didn't end up flush against the skins. I kluged together a v-shaped holder using a carpentry clamp to hold the skins flush against the backs of the ribs.
It is past midnight and I am pooped.
