Fuselage, FWD/MID Side Structure (Part 38)

Today, the last rivets in the right forward Side Skin were installed.....almost.  In the picture below, you can see the lone remaining rivet (circled) in the underside of the Skin.  It can easily be squeezed, so I can do this one by myself during the next session.

The next rivet is the lone CR3212-4-5 Cherry Max rivet (circled below).  I needed a total of six rivets, but only had five.....so, I’ve got to get/order a few extras.


Here is the “inside” or shop head side of the rivets.

The “last” few rivets needing to be installed attach the F-14119-R Root Fairing Attach Angle (the left side is shown in the plans excerpt below) to the right Side Skin.



These rivets will be installed during the next work session.  Until next time.....
