RV-9A: Project Entry

Share on:

Finished riveting the J Stringer on the left wing
Thanks to Tommy, who is building an RV-10 (by the way), the wing is all finished now and ready for storage on the wing jig at my hangar. Tommy bucked the rivets on the skin side while I back riveted. This time I was able to use the regular short back rivet tool. One short "blurp" with the gun and the rivet is done. I switched to the long back rivet tool on the rivets where the J Stringer went through the hole in the ribs. THANKS TOMMY!
