A quick evening’s work

After a quick round-robin trip to Delaware to deliver our daughter back to college, Ellen and I got in a short riveting session this afternoon before the Super Bowl.  We did all the aft tailcone longeron rivets, including the “keeper” rivets that secure the longerons until the aft upper skins are installed.  As usual, Ellen did a great job running the rivet gun.

One more thing…the walnut stick grips from Pioneer Aircraft arrived.  I really like the look and feel of these grips, and the switches have a nice, solid feel.

Guy at Pioneer was a pleasure to work with, and I’m looking forward to using the grips.
