Riveted the front spar to skin rivets on one side. This is done by lifting up the skin on the aft side and sticking your arm and bar in there. The lower part can be done by sticking arm up the bottom between the spars.
A few bucking bar scratches but overall it looks good.
The action is riveting.....bahahaha!
Next I worked on the inter spar rib by sticking my arm up the bottom in between the spars.
My youngest daughter helped me hold the VS.
She had fun for about 2minutes.
Front spar on one side done.
Finished the tip rib with the squeezer.
Decided to go ahead and squeeze the rear spar rivets since the top half of the front spar is all riveted.
Working on the other side of the rivets below the middle rib.
Middle rib rivets all done. Front spar rivets all done!
Riveting on the bottom tip and middle ribs.
Lower rib to front spar rivets. I hate thes kind of rivet jobs because of the weird angles involved and the thin rib flanges. Let my set slip in the right one. Had to replace it.
Bottom rib to rear spar rivets. These were easy with the squeezer!
Finishing up the bottom rib to skin rivets with the squeezer. Making sure to leave the holes empty that will get nutplates for the emp fairing attachment later.
The obligatory picture of me with my finished VS. The first major sub part done!
