Finally, after too long off (admittedly, much of it for OSH, and that shouldn’t count against us, right?), I managed to get an hour in this evening after work. Riveted the rear spar to the right elevator.
Berck: 1 hour.
Elevator Rib Riveting
Good progress! The elevators are going to come together any day now. Just so happens that day will be after Oshkosh…
Things were going swimmingly with 4 of us working at once. We set up a wonderful assembly line to back rivet the elevator rib halves. So wonderful that we managed to neglect the fact that the top/bottoms are swapped left/right.
So, the day ended with the humiliating drilling of 64 rivets. I think we’re pretty good at drilling out rivets, now.
Berck: 8 hours, Randy: 8 hours, Tracey: 7 hours, Jonah: 4 hours.
