After spending most of the morning working in the yard, I went to work on the aileron rods (from the bellcranks to the aileron arms). I cut them to length and started drilling through the tubes and the end pieces. The first one riveted up just fine.

The second rod end ended up with a bent rivet. I drilled it out and riveted again. This is a pic of the second try, ugh! OK, that's it. I'm stopping for the day. Two hours wasted. I can't get the rivets to mushroom properly and I realize I've drilled on the the holes off center. I know that's not a strength issue, but I can't accept it that way. Tomorrow I'll be gone, but I'll just have to get back to it when I can. I really don't want to start over.... Previous Day | HOME | Next Day |
