Hi -



  I am building a 701.  I finally got to the point of riveting the 

left wing skeleton together, and I am encountering a problem.  Many 

of the rivets are close to one or more flanges, such that it is 

impossible to set the rivet tool at right angles to the work.  I 

tried going ahead and setting the rivets with the tool at an angle, 

but I'm not very happy with the results.



  Can anyone suggest a technique for setting these rivets?  I would 

really appreciate any insights.



  If you feel that this does not warrant posting on the list, please 

email me directly at caveman(at)pemtel.net.



Thanks ----

Mike, take a look at this discussion, on top of the page.

I made something like it and use several times in tight spots. Life saver.

 That is a really slick little tool. I could have used that a couple of  times. Thank you for posting that.
