Total build time: 34 hours.
Finally, after having deburred the parts and reassembled them using clecoes, I’m ready to start riveting!
This is my very first rivet.
And the rest…
It’s funny how the parts tend to look flashier when they have clecoes in them, but for me seeing the part finished with rivets is much more satisfying.
Then it’s on to riveting up the rest of the stabilator substructures.
Thanks for the help, Bill!
Now that the substructures are riveted, time for photo ops. Me and Mom.
