Looks bad, thought skin was not broken.\u00a0 I will have my technical counselor advise on path forward for this error.\u00a0 In the meantime, I completed the left side back riveting with very good results.<\/p>\n<\/a>Sheer clip install on left rear elevator spar.<\/p>\n<\/a>Pop riveting the upper and lower left skins together with the ribs.\u00a0 I used an old mouse\u00a0 pad under the pop rivet tool for proper vertical alignment and keeping the tool from scratching the primed surfaces.
