More nutplates - 2.5 hours

So one of the items that I missed was to drill the nut-plates in the flange of the F-705 bulkhead. Like the other nutplates, I used a sacrificial nut-plate to drill the needed holes. Unfortunately since the bulkhead is already primed, I didn't want to draw a center line so I had to line each one up individually. Took a little time to get it all lined up.

Finished riveting the bottom center section - 1 hour

Well, I managed to find some time to get back into the garage and I finished riveting the bottom skin of the centre section.

And a little more - 1 hour

Spent a little time riveting. Managed to get about half of the two rivet lines done. I bit tricky to get to solo.

Just a little more - 1.5 hours

Again, need a break from work. Kept riveting, and now I just have to two centre rivet lines to do
 

More riveting on the center section bottom skin - 4 hours

Again, insane busy at work and have to work the entire weekend. I managed to slip out to the garage and set some rivets as my eyes are bleeding from staring at a computer. Managed to get quite a few rivets in.


 

Riveting the Aft fuse - 2 hours

So my buddy Mike was able to stop by for the evening to give me a hand on riveting. We have to finish up the very back of the Aft Fuselage. This is one area I just cannot do solo. Very very tricky bucking but we did well.



To make matters worse, the fit on my aft side of the bulkhead, makes the riveting quite tricky due to the tight spacing of the rivets in the flange and the angle of the bulkhead. All things considered, we did well.

More riveting the bottom skin - 2 hours

Work has been insane lately. Just no time to work on the RV. I managed to sneak out into the garage and do a little on it. I set a few more rivets solo. Going well.
