RV-9A: Project Entry

Finished riveting the bottom of the leading edge to the spar
This is one of those situations where after bucking one of the rivets you think that the size rivet called for on the plans is not long enough. So on one rivet, I tried to use a size 4 rivet instead of the 3.5 as called for. WRONG!! It stove-piped on me. So, once again, I'm sticking to what is called out for on the plans.
