Hi,



I am to the point of setting the rivets from the root rib to the gusset and can't seem to come up with a good way of doing it.  The plans say to rivet the root rib to the rear spar first.  I did that but the thing is so tight that I can't get a set straight on the manufactured head either with a squeezer or rivet gun.  I have the manufactured head on the outside.



If I take out the 3/32 rivets connecting the rear spar to the root rib it would give me a little more room but not sure if it would be enough.



Maybe I'm not seeing something.



Thanks for any help in advance,



Bill

After looking at it again with better lighting I found that with trying all sorts of angles of holding the squeezer I was able to get it.  The set on the squeezer did have to ride the edge of the spar but I got two nice shop heads.  A little primer touch up where the set rubbed and I'll call that step done.



Thanks for the quick reply,



Bill
