Riveting outer nose rib and skin assembly
6.0 hours
 |
| Assembled skin and ribs (Full size) This was much easier than the first time. Everything just goes together with little force. |
 |
| Pitot tube hole (Full size) I hadn't yet drilled the pitot tube hole so I put the assembly on the wing spar and drilled out the hole |
 |
| In-progress riveting (Full size) Starting with the aftmost rivet, each rivet is done one by one toward the front of the skin, Here I am almost halfway done. |
 |
| Finished riveting (Full size) Here is the finished assembly ready to go on the spar |
 |
| Nutplates on tank attach splice plate (Full size) I put on the nutplates before riveting the assembly to the spar |
