10-20:
Step 1: Cleco bottom Skin, Stiffeners, and Bulkheads / Frames.
Step 2: Rivet Stiffeners to Bottom Skin. I elected to back rivet everything I could using a 4" x 16" plate which seemed to work pretty well. Although structually sound, initial shop-heads from the backriveting were not the prettiest but they got better with some practice. But I had a particularly difficult time with the bottom left stiffener F-1047F-L. I had a hard time getting the rivets to pull down straight. I ended up drilling out and replacing 7 rivets on this one stiffener.
DISCOVERY: the left stiffener was not F-1047F-L, it was F-1047B-L (top stiffener). Well, that explained it. Now, all I had to do was drill out about 50 rivets and put the correct one in place and re-rivet. That mistake took about an hour and a half to fix. I spent some time cleaning up and re-dimpling some of the rivet holes on F-1047B-L so it would be ready later (first major screw-up)
