Empennage - Vertical Stabilizer Priming & Rivetting

Vertical Stabilizer spars and ribs etched and primed...

And finally.....my first rivet set!

Pretty happy with these. The little ones set nicely with the pneumatic squeezer.

It was during the next step I came across my first rivet issue(s).

About Me...

I've been interested in aviation most of my life since making plastic models........ to building and flying remote control fixed and rotary models....... to finally gaining a private pilot's licence in my mid-20's. I'd love to be able to fly more and see this aircraft as my ticket to being able to do that. I just need to start!!

I've got half of a CPL Rotary Licence which was exhilarating, but the bottom line is I don't plan on flying choppers as a job, I'm not a millionaire and would rather build something to fly sooner than later which means the heli side of things needs to take a back seat.

I'm an Electrical/Electronic Engineer so I'm looking forward to installing the boxes of lights (as a previous colleague used to call displays). I grew up in Melbourne, Australia but now reside north of Brisbane, QLD, Australia.
