Today I riveted the stiffeners to the skins. This was a relatively easy task to do. The R1003 ribs were pretty easy as well. The R1004 ribs is where it got a bit tricky. I was able to squeeze all but the last 2 rivets near the trailing edge. I ended up bucking the 2nd to last. After trying several various methods (including indirect back riveting) I elected to use a pop rivet that is called out for the other side. At least they will match now. I also installed the shear plates (which I forgot to take pictures of). I decided to stop here as the plans call for the use of proseal and I didn’t have the time to commit to the next few steps.
