Found out that the HS-410 was a mm or so too large in the ends so it would interfere with the skin. Should have seen this long ago, but didn't, so had to file down the ends, polish and prime (with Zinc Chromate).

Finished bucking the skeleton
Did the last few rivets on the skeleton of the HS. Had to drill out two rivets that were bad, but it is remarkable how fast one learn using the rivet gun. Also riveted on the 404 spars, and this results in using pop-rivets on the 407 spar/skin interface. Pop rivets doesn't look so nice as flush solid rivets, but it will be easier to get it properly done, nice and straight and good riveting. I think I will chose that path as a general rule in the future as well - higher probability of succeding with a good solution the first time before beauty, he he.

Hei Bjørnar.
Spennede å følge utviklingen på flyet. Det virker som du har en bratt lærekurve!
Ha en god jul og godt nytt flybyggerår :-)
mvh

Ja, du skulle bare ha vist. Men det går framover, om ikke med stormskritt, så ivertfall (små) steg for steg. Det føles som om det for hver time jobbing er 10 timer grubling. Men artig :-)
Fortsatt god jul og godt nyttår til deg også.
Bjørnar
