CH-750 Plansbuilt, Riveting the side wall
I am using a dimpler/riveter to rivet most of the cabin sidewall rivets, it sure sets some pretty rivets. These 1/8 rivets sure are a lot easier than the 5/32 rivets in the wing spars! I have all the rivets set accept the bottom row, I am waiting on UPS to bring the 1/8 straight rivet set for the rivet gun. Time today was about 7 hours (including a few short breaks) to rivet all the vertical rivets(co-pilot side!), . This can be sped up with the rivet gun, but they wont look as good. I can't believe it took soo loong, maybe im just slow lol.
