We got some snow today, so my first job was to clear the driveway. Ugh. I better get used to it, as there’s surely a ton more to come. I received my order from the Yardstore, so I could finish up riveting the skybolt flanges. Here’s the other side before I’d finished riveting it.

Then I opened up the holes on the cowling for the Skybolt studs. This was pretty easy. I put the Skybolt washers in and put the little spring clips on. This was easy enough without the use of a special tool. You need the tool to put the studs in though. Here’s one assembled.

We put it on the plane, and it fit pretty nicely. We took it off to do the baffles before I got to snap a pic though. Oh well, next time.
