I have noticed that several install their panel and complete most of the wiring BEFORE Final install of the F821 skin.
Question:
What riveting method did you use ?
1. Remove all the Avionics and 'Buck' solid rivets
or
2. Leave everything in place & Use Cherry CR3214 (1/8" with reduced countersunk head)
I perceive it to be impossible to 'Buck' all the rivets with everything installed ?
Also, 'Bucked' rivets seem to get the skin 'Tighter' and make a nicer ( lay down ) seam along the Longeron rivet row ?
Here is an example taken from Matt Dralle's log showing that things can get FULL in there.
Thanks
