First rib in place

Some misunderstanding resulted in me being alone today. The plan was to rivet 5 ribs into one tank or even five on the other as well if things ran smoothly.

Now I made a new plan and riveted the fuel fittings to the end ribs, closed the tooling holes in the end ribs, bettered the sealing of the stiffeners and then had time for one rib.

I really hope to not do another rib by myself, the good is that I think the result was fine but it was a pain to hold the bucking bar and position the gun while at the same time put pressure and holding the parts in place.

The bad is that doing it by yourselves gets your hands covered with proseal almost immediatly, I probably used over 30 gloves on this session.
