I
borrowed a small torque wrench from the office to properly torque the
AN-3 Bolts & Screws. Once that was done, I began to prepare
to start solid riveting. I Cut 4" wood blocks to support the spar
at the same level as the 4" bucking bar. I loaded the first 13
solid rivets and started pounding. I successfully pounded the
first 13 solid rivets into the Right Spar! |

I
continued pounding the Root Flush rivets on the Right Main Spar.
The specified rivets for the lower angle (AN426AD 5-12) Appear to be
too long. I set 3 bad rivets before this was fully recognized
:-(... I will order some 5-11s and see if they work better :-) |
