After 6 months of scratching my head and agonizing over how to get the bottom skins riveted I finally threw in the towel and called Synergy Air and asked them to send out one of their experienced "buckers" to help. Well worth it in my opinion. We had all 4 bottom skins installed in about a day and a half. The point of this post though is that the way we did it, and what the plans suggested were very different. I suppose to each his own, but it was helpful to have someone who had done this a few times before to point out what had worked for them in the past. Frankly this was the most difficult part of the build for me so far; even worse than the fuel tanks.
I feel like I can breath again and get on with the project now. Just flaps, ailerons, pushrods and bellcranks, magnetometer, roll servo, VOR/ILS antenna, tips, etc. Sheeesh!!
