<\/a>Moving day.\u00a0 Fortunately the roughly 9′ longerons and skins fit just perfectly in Rita’s Highlander with the front seat down. The new shop is only about a mile from the house, but still layers of blankets were used to prevent banging and chipping on the short trip.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Here we are drilling out a misaligned rudder stop brace for repair.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>These parts really require two people to process.\u00a0 While a one-man rivet job attaching the skins may theoretically be possible, I cannot imagine the outcome. Here Eric is driving and I am bucking the bottom pan to the bellcrank housing ribs. We completed all the bottom pan rivets for the left side in about 5 hours in the 90 degree heat of the shop.\u00a0 Even with fans going full blast, the heat and humidity were oppressive.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>(Saturday, July 4) Rich came over to drive rivets for the left side skins, stiffeners, and frames. Again a two man job, but the results were very good.\u00a0 We started early in the morning to avoid the heat later in the day.<\/p>\n<\/a>This picture shows the rearmost section with the rudder stop brace on the left.\u00a0 Nice outcome for the repair.\u00a0 I may go back before attaching the right skin to re-prime the scuffed areas and paint the rivet heads.\u00a0 This treatment is really not necessary, but once enclosed, this section will be completly inaccessible.\u00a0 Might as well do it now to avoid concerns about any possible future corrosion.<\/p>\n
