1 hr. filling rivets (as long as my back can take it hunched over the wing...).  Doing this while I await the arrival of the small wing skin (Monday).

Here's a video of me filling rivets to show you how I do it.


Still have the large (4mm) rivets to do and a bunch of the smaller 3.2mm rivets.  SO many rivets....

NEXT TASKS:
  1. Wing tip assembly and light installation.
  2. Test fit of aileron and flap, with likely adjustment of the aileron to line up the trailing edges.
  3. Fill rivets - 2/3rd's done already...
  4. Rivet the one on the left wing's step rib that needs special handling (waiting to hear back from the factory on what to do with that hole).
  5. Finish one of the composite tips of the elevator.
  6. Fill rivets of elevator.
  7. START ON FUSELAGE!
