Riveting Bottom Skins

November 3nd, 5h

 

The wing internals are nearly complete. So, it is time to start riveting the bottom skins.  First we start with fitting the skins.  The is a very small gap, about 1mm between the bottom skin and the fuel tank skin in the left wing.  It does not look concerning.

Then we moved on to the riveting.  We started with the most inner ribs, working in an L shape, but access is pretty bad, with not much visibility.  After a bunch of trials, we decided to break for the time being, and continue this on a fresh day.
