Riveting on the F-706 Bulkhead - 2.5 hours

 One of the items on the to-do list was to finish riveting the F-727/F-726 baggage ribs to the F-706 bulkhead. I really was dreading these rivets thinking it was going to be a super huge pain. (After all riveting the seat ribs to F-705 certainly was).

 

Fortunately the riveting went extremely well. I used my super long rivet set on the gun, and used the angled portion of the bucking bar (on a built up rest) which ended up being the perfect setup for setting the rivets closest to the skin.

Just super pleased with how all of them turned out.
