After a long time between sessions, i finally finished up the HS in only 2.5 hours. I don't know why i lost my confidence and waiting to put the rear spar in (and a landscaping project and new shed build didn't help with my spare time) - in the end i should have been confident my riveting of the ribs was fine - i checked every single rivet and they all looked ok.
The rear spar started by riveting the rear spar to the ribs using LP4-3 pull rivets. The tip ribs and the inspar ribs were completed with AN470 rivets - all done with the squeezer, except the middle 2 rivets of the inspar ribs (couldn't reach with the squeezer). These were done with the gun and bar.
So - the HS is finally done!!!
Onto section 9 - the elevators!
So - BUILD ON!
