I anybody who has installed the bottom wing skin will agree it is not one of the more pleasant or easiest job in the construction of an aluminum aircraft. The RV 10 is no exception and the task is fraught with opportunity to make the unsightly blemishes. At least for me the stiffener was the area of greatest difficulty when I did the right wing. On the left wing I back riveted the stiffener. This made the job of riveting the bottom skin much easier and quicker. For those of you who have not reached this step yet you might want to consider this method. Also remember that the spar line will have to be trimmed about 1/16 because it is too wide or you will get pillowing or oil canning. At least it was on my kit.

Yesssss it is a formidable job. The suggestion on back riveting is a good one. I also had to trim the skin carefully with a quality file to get a good fit. I also put in a few pull rivets (4-5) in the really hard to get places. I figure that it is on the bottom and not too visible. I figure that the non-uniform pull rivets are better than a badly shot one.
