Just finished riveting the vertical stabilizer on my -10. And looking for pro tips for keeping rivet lines flat.
Observations are spar lines with thicker material underneath are more forgiving than ribs. The individual rib flanges seem to give more and allow the skin to more easily deform.
I understand it's important to balance the pressure between the gun side and the bucking bar. The right air pressure is important. Any other pro tips out there for getting smooth rivet lines?
I used a 2x gun with a 1" mushroom set from Cleveland. Thanks!
