I had a really good visit today from Bob DiMeo, my new EAA Tech Counselor. Bob took a good look at my work on the fuselage, and also helped with some riveting in a difficult area. Using an extended offset universal-head rivet set (yes, I’m geeking out on riveting-speak) we were able to drive some hard-to-get rivets on the baggage compartment bulkhead. Bob seems to be satisfied…
…and here’s the part we riveted – the green vertical post on the right.
We also knocked out the rest of the aft belly skin rivets. Got a lot more rivets to go, but definitely making some good forward progress.
