Not really happy with this chubby rendition of myself - but this will be motivation to reduce my MTOW. Luckily I should have around 3-4 years up my sleeve. Either that or I figure out how to put a turbine in it.
The next photo shows one of the tabs that should be flush on the spar flange. I didn't take note why I had to remove the whole Stringer Web Assembly, but I did when re-installing it, I should've bent the tabs slightly outward again.
A small mistake that attempted to rectify using a series of different thickness specially designed pieces of rubber with a hole to fit the rivet, but just the right thickness to compress the tab and set the rivet at the same time.
The tab didn't rivet totally flush, but I was happy enough.
Below is one of the better skin rivets.
Sorry - this one is a bit of a pose but for a Builder's log, I really don't have many photos showing me doing the building. Rocket's a good mate who's been assisting pretty much whenever I've asked. He's a good bloke who'll probably get one of the first flights......if he wants it. I may have to drag him kicking and screaming (he can be a child sometimes)
Ahhh, one side done. The edge rivets can be done later with the pneumatic squeezer - soooooo much easier.
