I drilled out the AN470AD4-4 rivet closest to the trailing  edge of the rudder holding the R-1004A and B together. Rivet tape to hold  the rivet in place, upside down now.  I then had my son Tyler (AKA co-pilot) hold the R-1004A away enough to squeeze the  rivet with a thin nose yoke.  Then re-rivet the R-1004A and B.   Building is so much fun!

 Thanks for the other suggestions.

I am at that same point with no thin nose yoke.  Was considering an approach like shown on this builders tip for dimplinge and setting rivets in those hard to reach places.

 Hi Dave,          

     There are a few approaches that work.  I took some meat out of the center of a bucking bar, leaving about a 3/16" thick surface on either side that I could slide in between the rib flanges... allowing me to buck the rivet (my tech counselor was quite impressed).  I'd take a picture of it to show you but it's on loan to another builder.

          

     Avery also sells a yoke with a tapered head that will work... but you're looking at $85.00.

		         Probably an old question from a new -10 builder.  How do you squeeze or set the rivet on the lower right side of the rudder (You know the one).  I am considering using a blind rivet on both sides.  Anyone?  Thanks!
