While I'm working out some other details, I decided to fill in a little time by drawing in rivets.
I'm heading back out to Caboolture airfeild this week to have another look at some more planes, but I have made a start on "riveting" the skeleton. (on paper (??screen??) anyway :gig: )
I can tell already that by the time I have finished the real riveting I am not going to want to see another rivet again for a LOOOOOOOOONG time. :eek:
So far I have placed over 200 rivets, and thats just in the main spars and a couple of ribs of ONE wing! :suprised:
I still have a few thousand to place, so back to the drawing keyboard. :D
