Riveting the seat assembly and flap channel - 5 hours

Now that the primer has had 24 hours to dry, time to get some of the riveting done. I started riveting the F-766A channel assembly. I get much better results and more consistent rivets when I buck rather than squeeze. So that's what I'll do.

Next I can rivet the hinge lengths on the bottom of the seat floors. I looked at doing these with solid AN rivets, but in the end I decided to use the pull rivets as shown in the plans. I don't need to be a hero, I just need to finish the plane.
