1.3 hours today, learned several things!
First, I had to do some of my last riveting using the gun because I could not fit the parts into the C-frame and make contact on both ends. Today I realized that that is what the short pin is for, with it installed I could rivet everything on the back spar!
Next lesson was the importance of keeping the parts flat in the C-frame. Holding the piece unsupported with one hand gave a lousy result, I will drill out a few rivets tomorrow. Then I did some with a not so good support, better but far from perfect. Then I finally put together some wood blocks that fitted great and the result was faultless rivets!
