Wing Spars and Ribs

Shortly after this picture was taken I discovered my biggest mistake to date.
The solid rivets I'd used were the soft variety.
I don't know if I orderedthe wrong type or if ACS made the mistake, but I didn't realize it until the spars were complete.
I had not yet rivetted the ribs to the frame.
I had to dissassemble the spar, removing ALL of the rivets and replace them with the correct type.
I've developed some very good rivet removing techniques.
See the big goof for details my next goof.
