Riveting the horizontal stabilizer skin

The rules are : 1. Apply enough pressure on the head of the rivet holding the rivet gun perpendicular to the skin (not too much pressure otherwise: smiley risk) 2. Apply the weight on the rivet tail without damaging the skeleton and without ripper and holding the weight at the tail perpendicularly 3. Trigger the gun, not too long … Tip : Practice before on the training kit … it is not obvious at first but after 15/30 rivets, one learns to be determined quickly.
