More Fuselage Riveting

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
I squeezed all of the rivets between F-902 and F-705 along the upper longerons on both sides.



Aft of F-705, there are a few places on each side where there are three rivets close together.  The middle rivets can be set now since they just keep the longerons in place.  The remaining holes are left open for the time being since they also attach the top skins.



A number of rivets along the aft end of the longerons (where the aft deck sits) can also be squeezed now since there are no other parts that attach here.



I also squeezed a number of the AN470 rivets just aft of F-704.  Near the lower right of the picture, you can see one boogered rivet.  There is a nutplate right behind here (on the seat rib flange) and I didn't notice it when I squeezed the rivet.  It didn't do any significant damage, just slight bends to a couple of pieces.
