First Rivet

Just a little bit of progress after work today, but I did go ahead and rivet the rudder stops to the rudder hinge bracket, which is the first rivets on the plane!

Otherwise just more dimpling, countersinking, deburring….

Berck: 2 hours, Jonah: 1 hour.

Deburring, dimpling, countersinking.

After disassembling everything that we’ve assembled so far, I dimpled, deburred, and countersunk.  Not very exciting, so no pictures to show.  I’ve got some more of that to do before I can put it all back together, which I hope to get done this week.  Then Randy and I can start riveting next weekend.

Berck: 2 hours.
