All,
I thought this question had been answered, but I could not find it in the archive search. I am having a real hard time riveting the E-904 tip rib to the elevator front spar (page 9-14 steo 5). I have a pneumatic squeezer and there just isn't enough space to get it in there to squeeze. The body of it hits against the rib and keeps it from squeezing perpendicular to the spar. Does anybody have any good ideas on this?

I was afraid you might say that. I can't get my gun in there very well either. Well, I guess I will order a double offset rivet set and see how well it works. Thanks.
Also, apparently I don't know which way the airplane goes together......root, tip, whatever.... Now, was I cleared to takeoff on 7 or 25?

You say root rib or tip assembly? Without the plans infront of me (E-904), I
am not certain as to exactly what you are having problems with but, there is
very little space inside to attach the tip assemblies to the front spar.
Even with the bucking bar inside there, becareful it is actually sitting on
the rivet you want bucked. Sometimes once the rivet gets partly compressed
it starts hitting another one or something else.
One word of caution on a challenge you will soon face.
When it comes time to rivet the two rivet holes on the top skin that relate
to the two holes in the skin of the assembly, consider using blind rivets
like the ones used on the bottom two holes in the bottom skin. Difficult
access, can't see the rivets and they are floating in unsupport skins, no
backing. I think it is a test...think about it before you do it. I did.
Kind of like driving a car and saying don't hit that bumper, don't hit that
bumper..oops, I hit the bumper.
Slight filler needed, but someone who was really good wouldn't need any
filler. Sorry to say, Not there yet.
JG.

Shawn,
Try an offset rivet set if you have one. If I recall you can manuever the rib out of the way a bit while keeping the flange in contact with the spar.
