This is my first post on the board. I took over an RV-7 project back in June/July and I'm riveting the right wing ribs to spar. Please correct or if you have a proven technique on AN470AD 4- rivets and driving them with the ribs in that tight area... it has been a problem I can't seem to figure out at this point.
Smileys on the rib flange, damage to the manufactured head, poor quality shop head etc etc. The pressure is about 45-50 psi with a 2x gun and about 3 different bucking bars. Overall they look bad, take a long time to set and a couple have been unacceptable and I drilled them out. The ribs are in the way and I've been bending them to the side. The offset rivet set has not helped.
