Today I received the shorter offset rivet set (for universal heads) that I ordered. I needed this in order to buck many of the rivets in the flap bracket assembly. The longer set that I had was long enough that the rivet gun wouldn't fit in the rib bays. I'm not a huge fan of the offset sets because they tend to spin in the gun and are harder to control, but sometimes there just isn't much of a choice. It didn't take long to get all of the flap brackets and attach angles finished up.
Next up are the aileron and flap gap fairings that create a kinder path for the air to flow. They attach to the aft side of the rear spar and also the top skins. I started to cleco them in place, but quickly realized that working on them with the wing on the stands was going to be a lot harder than it needed to be. This weekend I'll relocate the wing to the rolling cart, where it can sit nose down. That way the aft portion that I need to work on will be easier to access. There are a lot of holes to prep and rivets to set, so I'd rather be comfortable doing it.
