So the parts for the rivet gun arrived today. I spent 45 minutes replacing that parts, gun didn't work. I then thought that I needed to recharge the hydraulics, so I went through the steps and it still didn't work. I have come to the conclusion that I don't know how to repair a rivet gun. I am sure there is something simple I have to do, but rather then spend more time repairing a gun when I could be building I decided I would send it in for repairs. It will take 3-4 weeks to get it back, but in the meantime there are other sections I can be working on. I would rather hold off riveting the sides until I have the gun as it would be a lot faster then by hand.
I worked on the rudder pedals and brakes some more. The other pedals were drilled and the pedal blocks and brake cylinders installed.
I clecoed the rollbar and braces to the fuselage. I then enlarged the hole in the roll bar attach plates for the canopy light wiring.
Time: 3 hrs
