Anybody know why this is happening? When I squeeze the rivets on the fuselage bulkheads, it's deforming the bulkheads. In fact, it was so bad on the F-705 bulkhead that I've scrapped all three lower pieces and re-ordered new ones.
Now as I'm riveting the second bulkhead, I squeezed two rivets and then noticed it's doing it again.
I'm clearly not over-squeezing them, but I'm not sure how to keep the bulkheads from deforming when I rivet them.
Here's two of the two rivets I just tried installing pics...
Do you see how when I squeeze the rivet it's pulling the bulkheads apart? I will drill these two out and straighten the bulkheads, but I don't know what to do differently with the new rivets!
Help!!
