I'm at the top of page 8-10 in the build manual, taking care of the "laundry list" of items that have to be done before final riveting of the F-770 side skins onto the fuselage.
The instructions have you rivet the top five rivets attaching the F-704H center section side plate to the skin forward of the spar cutout (see photo below), leaving the bottom one open until the skin goes on. They have you rivet all six holes aft of the spar cutout. Drawing 28 calls out -5 length rivets for the top five holes and -6 length for bottom holes forward and aft of the cut out.
My questions:
1) What else gets attached here that would require the longer rivets?
2)How would you buck that forward rivet after the skin is on (due to interference from the center section spar)??
