RV-9A: Project Entry

Riveted the counterbalance assembly to the front spar
I used my pneumatic rivet squeezer to put in the outside rivets that attached the counterbalance ribs to the main spar. But the inside rivets were a little trickier. I used my hand squeezer with the 4" yoke and put some washers on one of the dimple dies so the yoke would not hit the spar flange during the "squeeze".
