Tonight I finished riveting the main ribs to the front and rear spars. Well, mostly. I had to leave the last two inboard ribs just clecoed to the rear spar for now. I'm still waiting on a doubler plate from Van's that goes there, but it'll be easy enough to add later whenever it arrives.
After the ribs were all done, I drilled a 3/16" hole into the outboard rib to attach the aluminum angle used for hanging the spar on the wing jig. Things like this do go faster the second time around. I still have to read and study the plans to find rivet sizes and measurements, but the overall process is a little quicker just because I don't have to spend the time interpreting the plans and figuring out what they REALLY mean to say.
With the wing hung, I started on the skins. I measured and laid out the wing walk doubler and got the 3 reference holes per rib match drilled to the punched holes in the top skin. Then I awkwardly hung the top skins on the spar and got them clecoed in place. Next up will be clecoing them to the ribs and then drilling to final size.
