Riveting the 3/32 rivets into the back spar with the Avery Hand Squeezer was a real breeze (and pleasure) once I got the gap just right. All I have left now is to attach HS-911 Inboard Hinge Brackets and VA-146 bearing to the rear spar.

Now I will drill out the holes and rivet everything together.

Once again I have to say that I just LUV that Avery pneumatic rivet squeezer. Each one of these rivets came out perfect.
And thar' she is!!! Plum georgous! (no brag just fact)And thar' she is!!! Plum georgous! (no brag just fact)
I can't wait to get started on the Vertical Stabilizer.
