Afternoon Listers,

  

 Has anyone on the list either 701 or 601 found a need for a bucking bar to make sure the rivers go flat?

  

 thanks,

  

 Ben

Ben,

  

 I'm assuming you're talking about the solid rivets in the wing/center spars.  If so, my answer is "yes."  I found the 3 lb. TP1111 bucking bar from Aircraft Spruce ( http://www.aircraftspruce.com/pdf/2007Individual/Cat07545.pdf) to work perfectly for the AN-470-AD-5 and AD-6 rivets in those parts.  I used it in conjunction with the 2602A pneumatic rivet gun from Aircraft Tool Supplies ( http://www.aircraft-tool.com/pdf/catalogs/ECat2006.pdf).

A bucking bar and a 2X rivet gun with dome head  driver of the appropriate size would probably work but I've gotten by with a  flat and a dome head die in a hand powered squeezer. My squeezer has an  optional 6 inch deep jaw which helps reach a lot of rivets. I haven't had to  squeeze more than a half dozen or so that were in tight areas.

I don't think the bucking bar is a necessity at all  though it may be handy once in a while. The solid rivets that I used (for  nutplates or filling a hole that didn't actually need a pulled rivet) were  easliy "squoze" with the hand squeezer. If you aren't building your own spar  sections you don't need any solid rivets for structural purposes. As I poorly  explained earlier, I occassionaly used the squeezer to finish setting a rivet  whose formed head stuck out in the way too much. There weren't many of those so  far and I'm about to set the fuselage on its gear. There are other guys who have  a lot deeper engineering backgrounds and much more building experience so their  mileage may vary.
