4 hours: Riveted the rear HS spar. This went really well and I am finally feeling comfortable with the squeezer.
I also riveted the hinges onto the rear spar.
I spent some time making some practice items for back-riveting, which I will attempt tomorrow on the VS spar that I prepared for riveting. Lastly I started to assemble the HS-911 hinge only to find that the parts came somewhat misbent, causing it to not sit snugly on the spar. Another email off to Van's, good thing I worked ahead on this part so it won't stop any progress.
