Blind riveted the A-909 counterbalance to the A-901A nose skin
I must have done a decent job of drilling these holes because it was hard to get the pop-rivets into the holes. I had to drill out the holes a little to get the pop-rivets in. Here's the scary part. The instructions say "For a nicer finish you can use a small hammer and tap the top and bottom edges of the rivet heads down flush to follow the tight radius of the skin." I don't about you, but whacking your beautiful creation with a hammer just feels weird. Nevertheless, I gently tapped the top and bottom of the pop-rivet heads and easily formed each rivet to the rounded contour of the leading edge skin.
