I have use a c squeezer to set spar web with a longeron yoke.  Easy and clean.  Many rivets was out of reach and i use a 2x gun at 45 psi for those.  I'm waiting for 7 1/2 inch double offset set to do the rest.

I can give you a hint.  For the rear rib angle when you are ready to set, do heavy rib channel first and all l rib bracket.  End with all other rib channel.  You will be able to use a c squeezer allmost all of them.  I have rivet L bracket to rib channel of the left wing first and i have to do all rivet with gun and bucking bar.

Hi Robert! I am starting on the main spars soon, I was thinking of two plywood templates clamped around the sheet and a router to cut the holes. It is a big floppy mess, the tail spares were too but not so long, I just clamped a board to the drill press, with a hole around the cut out for them. I have not decided on the riveter yet though.
