Newbee here in NC. Working on the Horizontal stabilizer. Riveted the nose ribs in the right skin no problem. Then riveted the intermediate ribs to front spar no problem. Had no problem with the center rib but where the inner rib 904 mounts to the front spar,shim, and nose rib I had problems. These ribs are at an angle and could not get good contact with buckingbar or rivet gun, even used offset. Drilled out twice and still not satisfied. Holes are now a little oversized. I have read about using cherrymax rivets, Are they strong enough?
Thanks for the info
