Done with page 22-02...

... and my take on it: it's not for sissies!
There are a few errors or omissions but they are pretty trivial like not mentioning to dimple a platenut or countersink a rivet hole that is matched by a dimpled hole. No big deal for a builder that has reached this phase alive. The problem is that VANs made the economy of several pictures and instead offers only depiction of the assembly once completed. The trap is that if you rivet some parts in the wrong order you will have to undo it (don't ask me how I know). I will not offer any hint beside the obvious: go slow and read instructions twice before doing anything irreversible. If you understand well how the whole thing comes together ahead of riveting you will be in good shape
Actually this page is a great initiating process, if you get through unscathed (or like me with minimal damage to your ego...) you are good for the rest of the build.
Now let's proceed to the next page.
