I riveted the entire left HS with the exception of the attaching the rear main spar and the 405 (new one on order) and riveted the 707 on the right side and clecoed the whole thing together again. Here are a few pics of what went on today.  After using the pneumatic squeezer yesterday my confidence had grown. I had planned on taking a class on riveting but I have looked at enough planes at this point including the quick build stuff Vans sells to get a pretty good idea on how things are suppose to look not to mention I have talked to a few folks as well.

One of the rivets here at the lower left (that goes through 702,708 and the skin) was drilled and removed and replaced with a -4.

You be the judge of the gunning and bucking that went on here.

I hope I can call this my own plane since I make Mike do all the work... ;o)  No really, using the hand squeezer is simply the most relaxing riveting that goes on.

At first we were so happy with how things were going we could have just....well you know.

These rivets were coming out so smooth you could barely feel them.  But we are always looking for ways to make things even nicer so we decided to use the roll of rivet tape I got from Vans as to eliminate the slight abrasions that we got on the skins on some of our rivets so on with the tape and this is the result.

After a little more investigation we discovered where the skins had been dimpled a little harder with the C-frame or even the Pneumatic Squeezer that the skin around the rivet was even flatter.  If the skin actually had a small circle around the rivet hole caused by hard dimpling from the dimple die that over all the skin was unbelievably flat all around and across the rivet.

Here is a rivet done using the tape and with the dimpling done not quite hard enough.  Don't get me wrong this was a very smooth rivet and surrounding skin but check out the next pics.

Here is the finished product as of today.
