I have a question for you guys that put together a -10 slow-built fuselage.  I’ll do my best to explain my question.  I’m about to mate the mid and forward sections of the fuselage.  Beyond bolting the two spar bulkheads together using the supplied spacers the mating requires riveting the two bottom skins together and to the front and rear spar bulkhead flanges.  The mated pieces are now quite long.  How did you guys orient the entire structure in order to access the manufactured head of the #3 bottom skin rivets?  My spouse usually runs the gun and I’m not sure placing the fuse between two work benches and having her work upside down is a good choice.  The other option I’m thinking about is placing the structure on the firewall and clamping it to a work bench so we can access vertically.  Any recommendations based on your experiences?



Thanks

Rick McBride

I put the assembled parts with the firewall down on a Harbor Freight roll around table that jacks up and down.  Everything is easily accessible and you can raise or lower it to suit.  Got about 80% of the rivets by myself and the rest with a neighbor.
