RV-9A: Project Entry

Riveted the F-741 Tunnel Cover together
This one little part is very time consuming. I thought, "Wow, I'm almost done!". Then I saw on the plans that the rivets were flat head rivets. Oh well, get out the dimpling and countersinking tools. I scratched my head for a while trying to figure out how to set these rivets. Then I tried using my 4 inch no-hole yoke on the pneumatic squeezer and all of a sudden, it became an easy task.
