I spent one hour going back to any nut or bolt for which I either knew I didn't torque or wasn't sure and torqued as per recommended pound inches. Then, one of the EAA Chapter Technical Counselors, Dan Benua, came by to check on a couple of rivets I was uneasy about. He said they were fine, but let's drill one out so that I knew how to do this re-rivet using a gun and bucking bar. This went pretty well due to his expertise and the tools he brought (12" #40 drill, bucking bar, offset gun, etc.). After Dan left, I started on page 23-02, the well-known "LONGERON". Many have entered and not as many have emerged. I took the better part of an hour measuring and cutting the bar to length, and getting everything I will need to complete this part of the building process.
