Apply enough pressure on the head of the rivet holding the rivet gun perpendicular to the skin (not too much pressure otherwise: smiley risk)<br \/>\n   2. Apply the weight on the rivet tail without damaging the skeleton and without ripper and holding the weight at the tail perpendicularly<br \/>\n   3. Trigger the gun, not too long &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Tip : Practice before on the training kit &#8230; it is not obvious at first but after 15\/30 rivets, one learns to be determined quickly.<\/p>\n<p><center><img src=\"http:\/\/www.flying-rv7.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Riveting first rib<\/strong><br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/www.flying-rv7.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/www.flying-rv7.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/www.flying-rv7.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_4.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Riveting the left side<\/strong><br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/www.flying-rv7.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_5.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/www.flying-rv7.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_6.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/www.flying-rv7.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_7.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/www.flying-rv7.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_8.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/www.flying-rv7.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_9.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/www.flying-rv7.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_10.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nRiveting the right side<br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/www.flying-rv7.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_11.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Adding the rear spar<\/strong><br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/www.flying-rv7.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_12.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/www.flying-rv7.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_13.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\nDetails of the rear spar rivets attached to the skin<\/center><\/p>\n<p>The result<br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/www.flying-rv7.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_4880.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/www.flying-rv7.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_4879.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/www.flying-rv7.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_4884.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<img src=\"http:\/\/www.flying-rv7.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_4925.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<\/center><br \/>\nHorizontal stabilizer will be stored before painting, it will be attached to the fuselage.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_target addtoany_list\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a class=\"a2a_button_facebook\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/facebook?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flying-rv7.com%2F%3Fp%3D1054&amp;linkname=Riveting%20the%20horizontal%20stabilizer%20skin\" title=\"Facebook\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.flying-rv7.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/icons\/facebook.png\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Facebook\"\/><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_twitter\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/twitter?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flying-rv7.com%2F%3Fp%3D1054&amp;linkname=Riveting%20the%20horizontal%20stabilizer%20skin\" title=\"Twitter\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.flying-rv7.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/icons\/twitter.png\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Twitter\"\/><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_google_plus\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/google_plus?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flying-rv7.com%2F%3Fp%3D1054&amp;linkname=Riveting%20the%20horizontal%20stabilizer%20skin\" title=\"Google+\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.flying-rv7.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/icons\/google_plus.png\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Google+\"\/><\/a><a class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share_save\" style=\"background:url(http:\/\/www.flying-rv7.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/favicon.png) no-repeat scroll 4px 0px !important;padding:0 0 0 25px;display:inline-block;height:16px;vertical-align:middle\">Share<\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nwpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Riveting the skin of the horizontal stabilizer does not happen as the skeleton.
