Rivets,clecos and skin, oh my!

An update on the RV-10 building project.


This is the inside of a wing looking through all the ribs.


This is the end of an aileron clecoed together.


Lots of rivets of different sizes.


Here is the skin of the wing (the blue is plastic sheeting for protection while working on it)with clecos (pins) holding everything together with rivets installed next to clecos. To get the rivets flush with the skin's surface we dimpled the skin to allow the rivet to set deeper.


Another skin shot.


Bruce is using the rivet gun (you know, like "Rosie the Riveter")on the aileron.

Ah, Lenhardt Airpark (http://www.infoviva.com/lenhardt/Default.htm)...

Runway 02.


Runway 20. Notice the "V" in the tress right of the center line on the runway, you have to dog leg it through that gap to clear the trees before landing.


Hangar 52, hangar dog.

Oh, a quick look at our burgeoning garden. There hasn't been enough sun to ripen all the green tomato's hanging on the bushes.
