Hi,
I am to the point of setting the rivets from the root rib to the gusset and can't seem to come up with a good way of doing it. The plans say to rivet the root rib to the rear spar first. I did that but the thing is so tight that I can't get a set straight on the manufactured head either with a squeezer or rivet gun. I have the manufactured head on the outside.
If I take out the 3/32 rivets connecting the rear spar to the root rib it would give me a little more room but not sure if it would be enough.
Maybe I'm not seeing something.
Thanks for any help in advance,
Bill
