Completed riveting VS #2 - Started HS #2 - 7 hours



I riveted on the VS skin. It went extremely well. Using electrical tape to hold rivets while bucking works extremely well. The VS is ready for inspection. 

I then moved on to the HS. I drew out the HS layout in AutoCAD then printed it full scale, cut the template out and taped it to the part. The result was great. This saved me a considerable amount of time and the placement of lines and holes was surgical. Just like the lessons learned on the first HS. I tried to drill and match drill as much of the holes in the drill press. Results were impressive!
