hi,
i am riveting the forward fuselage and I have put on the bottom skin f-772 in preparation to rivet. when i go to rivet the area highlighted in red (from dwg 24), the 7 rivets are supposed to be 4-6. 4-6 was short for me for whatever reason, so i used 4-7. Then as i got down to last to, the rivet before last, i can only put 4-8 then the last one, where the bottom skin is sandwitched between side skin and F-704, the rivet i used was 4-9. That is three sizes bigger than what Vans called out for in plans! Did I make a mistake somewhere?
