Shawn Li's RV-7 Construction Log

04-01-2012: 2.5 hrs

Again, my wife helped me riveting the top skin today. She slipped the bucking bar twice, left two very minor dent on the rib, thus the skin. But this is very minor, you have to look hard to know it's there. I think it won't be visible once painted. Overall, the riveting process went well, I had to drill one rivet.

After the top skins are on, I moved the left wing to the cradle. Now both wings are on the cradle, I feel pretty good about it. Because my fuselage kit will be here next week. The wing is off the stand just in time to make some room for the fuselage kit.

Still lots of work to do on the wing, but it's a great milestone.
