To those with QB wings, how did you rivet the flap gap fairing (W-1021 I think) to the rear spar behind the bottom aft inboard skin? I can reach a few rivets on the ends with a bucking bar but that's it. Blind rivets OK here?

Dave: It is very hard to buck the rivets for the flap fairing but with skinny arms, several flashlights, and three people (pounder, bucker, lighter) it can be done. You have to use the wing access holes and the various wing spar lighting holes. However, other than cosmetics I can see no reason not to use pop rivets. Jay Rowe 40301

2 people with arm through the lightening holes. Painful but can be done. Chris

Dave,
This is a relatively easy, painless, fast, solo job if you devise some sort of extension to a bucking bar.
I used the mushroom shaped, hand-held, backrivet bucking bar. (about two inch diameter at the face with a handle about 4 inches long).
I inserted this into an appropriate length of scrap 1.5 in. diameter tubing for the extension.
Worked great. Too bad I hadn't thought about it before I resorted to pop rivets on the first wing.

I used several blind rivets in this area, bucked all I could though.
