- Riveted all the nut plates and wire tie clips to the various pieces then riveted the ribs and panels together.
- There were several difficult areas to rivet and several rivets had to be removed and re-done.
- I installed a total of 38 nut plates and 26 wire clips. The nut plates are for mounting the avionics and avionics related structure.
- I also put the sub-panel / rib assembly in the fuselage and now have a plan for riveting it in. After that I will start installing the avionics!
