Then comes the slightly tricky maneuver to join the two skins at the stiffeners and shear clips. No pictures during that process because Kathy is holding the left skin back and I’m using the pop rivet gun to get at the rivets on the stiffeners one at a time. It looks just like the illustration in the instructions and is not very hard. Just hard to get pictures at the same time. Then starts some remaining odd rivets. The drive horn support has an access hole that surprisingly was able to accommodate using the squeezer to set the rivets. You can’t get a bucking bar in there and I was skeptical about being able to do it but I could. Then you have to rivet the counterweight rib and add the counterweight. This requires some trimming of the weight to clear some of the rivet heads. After the counterweight is attached you then rivet on the remaining rib that covers it up.
