I spent my time after work finishing up the riveting on the rear spar and completing all of the front spar riveting. The Cleaveland Tools bucking bar was awesome! It follows the design that Van’s Aircraft puts in the manual and I can see why they have that. It was perfect for the rear spar and I actually got more consistent rivets out of it than my normal bucking bar. I didn’t take a picture of this but I went ahead and put on the elevator tips to see if they would straighten out some. They did, but they still aren’t perfect. I’m going to have to attach the elevators to the horizontal stabilizer to see how visible it is and if it affects the movement of the elevators.
