Riveting the Rear Spar (Horizontal Stabilizer) April 12th, 2006
As I said on the previous entry, I figured out it would be a good idea to let the primer dry before messing with the parts again.
So, after a couple of days, I was ready to start setting rivets. I riveted the two reinforcement bars, and about half of the end brackets. At this point I noticed the pneumatic squeezer was delivering very little force, and figured something was up…
Sure enough, my squeezer is broken! It will only squeeze with full force about once out of three times I press the trigger. I figure this thing should be under some kind of warranty, so I’m going to email The Yard and see what they say.
