Gentlemen,
Thanks for all your welcome suggestions off and on-line on the riveting sequence. No one suggested I begin riveting by starting a row of rivets on one end of the skin into the top longeron and now I can see why! I can set more rivets starting in the middle of the skin and working outward in both directions.
One person suggested I rivet the firewall line of rivets last. I was thinking of riveting the firewall in step with the rivets on the rear of skin. Has anyone started by riveting the aft row of rivets on the two center bays first? (I have a 7 x 8 access hole in each of the center bays.)
(I'm leak checking my tanks so I have some time think about this sequence...)
All the best,
Joe
