Cut and finished the center spar web today. Ready to assemble and drill the center spar. Here are pics of my center web spar:
Cut from .040 sheet per plans page 1. Found using my hand held jig saw worked great. Easy to control and kept a straight line. Will probably cut the wing spar webs tomorrow. Did goof off a bit today and took the ol' Cessna out for a short flight.
Made a dumb-dumb error. Ordered a rivet squeezer and sets from ATS. Now I know it won't work for me on the spars. Tried to go cheap. So I'm returning the squeezer and have ordered a rivet gun, sets, and bucking bar in preparation for spar riveting. Of course I will be doing some practice on scrap to hone my riveting skills -
Stay tuned!
Greg.
