I've been motoring along pretty well and making good progress nearly every day. One task today, however, has seen me talking to myself out in the garage as I tried to figure it out.
On page 09-18 Step 5, how the heck is one meant to buck those rivets along the rear spar?!? I have the special bucking bar, but that's intended to utilize leverage (when doing the second skin) unavailable with the assembly clamped to the edge of the workbench for this step per the plans. None of my many other bucking bars fit suitably inside the rear spar. Is it a two-person job with the special bar? It'll take two hands on that bar and I'm short a third hand to run the rivet gun...
What am I missing?
