Section 26 completed
Today the last rivet on the mid fuselage lower structure was set. Total time 74 hours + 4-5 hours riveting and etching help.
All done😀 Quite many rivets on the skin, but with good help (wife) it went smooth. The holes on the blue tape and above will be set when the tail cone i joined. |
Back riveting with my new long back rivet set (Cleaveland). It's easier with a long set to keep it perpendicular to the part. |
Some new tools and supplies arrived from Aircraft Spruce. Tank sealant (for next section), more etching fluid, park brake valve, wire stripper, thread sealant, tool (pliers) for clamp installation +++ |
This tools is for installation of washer in tight spots |
I attached the whole structure to a ramp. Worked out very well during rivet bucking. |
Sub-structures ready to be attached. |
As had to wait to get bucking help, I started on the section 27-Firewall. |
