Ain't it purty?...................
Here's the obligatory picture entitled builder-with-completed-v-stab. I had one issue with the riveting: On the second-from-the-bottom rib, the forward-most hole is in a short tab. Unknown to me, when I inserted the cleco, the tab bent down since the holes didn't line up perfectly. I was able to insert a peice of wood through one of the holes in the lower-most rib and bend the tab back to a horizontal position. I held the tab in this position while re-drilling the hole. Worked great.
All the rivets are in. All the fingerprints are wiped off. It's a thing of beauty. On one rib (second from the top) I managed to put a small dent in the skin with the cleco pliers. Otherwise, all the riveting went well. The pneumatic riveter is wonderful.
