Initial VS Skin Rivets

Published by olanandkate on

After a hiatus with COVID and holidays, I finally got the skin rivets started. I got a few going but I ended up having my first bad rivet not too long down the road. I pressed too hard from the bucking bar and ended up with the rivet slightly high on the skin. I drilled it out but was off on my drilling. This will be my first use for an “oops” rivet. Luckily I purchased those at the beginning.

I also spent some time redoing some of the rivets on the spar that I felt were off. They had the rivet cup off to the side and ended up with the little smiles on the AN470 rivets. LOL
