VS Skeleton
My father-in-law was going to come over Tuesday night to help with construction while our wives were in their master gardener class. This would be the perfect opportunity for some help doing the skins of the vstab, where you have to reach in with a bucking bar while driving rivets from the outside. It could be done solo, but why contort when you can get help.
In order to get that help, I needed to get the skeleton built back up and riveted together by the time he got here.
I had to complete several of the rivets on the rear spar above the upper attach points, then build the skeleton back up with clecos. Most of the rivets could be squeezed, and the "Main Squeeze" did a great job.
There were a couple of places where the parts wanted to pull apart, and I couldn't get a clamp on to pull them in just right, so my bride was nice enough to come down and help me hold them together.
