My order for cherry rivets have finally arrived allowing me to set the final rivets in the aileron brace. Since I have installed the Van's S.B. stiffener on the rear spar, the ability to buck the AD rivet in the rear spar at this location is near impossible. Ive chose to use cherry rivets in this location for their superior strength. Below shows how nice the cherry rivet clears the stiffener when set.
A bit more riveting on the left wing skin.
Here a good view of the two wing skin rivets along the rear spar that when the Van's S.B. stiffener are installed are impossible to buck. As an alternate I have just used MK-319 pull rivets for these two spots.
