Today we had a productive day and got some more work done on the main spar. After pondering over the plans for a while we finally got to drilling and countersinking for the platenuts that will hold the fuel tanks on. Once we had thi
s done we began riveting them on. This was also the first time I got to use a pneumatic squeezer! Our friend is letting us borrow his and the thing is amazing, although it takes a bit of getting used to. But it's definitely easier than squeezing each rivet by hand! Today we were only able to finish the top platenuts but plan on finishing the bottom on Tuesday. It feels great to be back in the building zone again, can't wait to get back to the hangar!
