Riveting ribs to rear spar and am having great difficulty with poor riveting (smilelys everywhere but on my face!). First question is which side to placee the manfactured head on. Ribs are the thinner material, but spar is the outboard side and would make for easier removal. George O. video shows holding manufactured head on spar, holding the rivet gun pointing upwards with thumb on trigger and basically riveting blind while sitting on stool.
I am going to experiment with tape, snap locs, 3x gun. Guessing that if 2x gun leaves smileys then a 3x gun would be even more likely to do that? For now using 2x gun with 42 or so PSI. Used tungsten bar, but thought maybe that was too much downward force on rivet so tried old steel bar, with no improvement.
Now that I'm reviewing the video, he has one skin clecoed on. Perhaps that is needed to give some rigidity, esp on aft spar?
Thanks for any suggestions.
