Turtle Deck Riveted

The build achieved a big landmark: we got the turtle deck riveted!! A great milestone to end 2012. Riveting the turtledeck is a two person job and Glenn helped quite a bit.

First, I spent a couple of hours fitting and clecoing top-skin to the turtle deck (2 hrs):

Next, Glenn and I got together. Glenn drove the rivet gun while I lay in the fuselage for almost 3 hrs!!! I did suffer with some musucular pain in the arms at night. It was all worth it. Time to rivet 3 hrs.

 

 

Here is a picture that Glenn took of me while I lay in the aft fuselage:
