Riveting the rear spar

After riveting the skin to the main spar, I jumped down to the rear spar. What luck! My 4 inch no-hole yoke reaches these rivets perfectly. One less set of rivets to hit with the rivet gun! So my sequence here was to rivet one rib to the skin, then the main spar rivets above that rib and then rear spar rivets below that rib. I figure I have about 3-4 hours work left before finishing the skin.
