-Riveted all internal ribs to skins
-Riveted skins together at rear spar
-Found that some offcuts of kaizen foam from my toolbox made holding the bucking bar in place easier
-Realised I was meant to leave one of the bearing attach platenut rivets to go through the 706b so removed the rivet, mounted 706b to 704 rib and riveted together
-Started riveting inboard rib to skins but struggling to get the back of the aft 2 rivets to buck them
-After some reading found that its commonplace on the inboard rib to replace the aft 2x top/bottom & rivet adjacent to platenut with mk319-bs blind rivets, so squeezed those rivets
-Fitted spar and blind riveted spar to ribs
-Fitted hinge & squeezed bottom row of rivets
-Drove top row of rivets, however theres a handful i'm not happy with but i'll sort them out later
-riveted 7061&b together
-Apart friom the handfull of rivets on the top skin to spar the left flap's done
