Steve,
I only caught it because you did and then told me! Thanks a bunch. I have drilled up the right side and it looks good.

I drilled up the left side tonight. A couple holes were bad and I took them to #21. After taking out some clecos found a few more bad holes. Trying to decide if I should just take them all up to #21 on both sides or do it piecemeal. I will sleep on that decision.

Have you considered using solid oops rivets. With the exception of the floors and internals I solid flush riveted the entire fuselage. Most of it can be back riveted and done on a bench. I used pop rivets on the wings. Only the odd sonex builder notices the difference.

Steve,
I have lots of rivets, an470ad5 included plus I have a 5X gun. I am the bucking bar king as well. The bigger head size does not bother me a bit. It may cost me the grand champion at Oshkosh but it will never come apart that way.

I took the whole left lower longeron up to #21. The right side looks ok, trying to decide if I want to do the same for symmetry or just use pops. Hard to see both sides at the same time anyway.

We had a cold run through our house. Plus work was busy and I ran out if propane. That is why I have been quiet lately.
Here is my first pair of splice plates mounted. I used my ruler with the T square attachment. I either marked the length the plate was supposed to stick out on the ruler, or I marked the distance up from the edge of the skin on the T square part.

We are polishing the right skin while I do the splice plates on the left. We had two polishers going.

Left hand top splice plates. I had no issues fitting them. I still need to polish them.
