Another couple of days of work in the books. Because the right wing is on hold until I get the replacement rear spar in hand and rebuilt, we swapped out the right wing for the left wing on the stand. The left wing leading edge went together a little easier than the right side, probably mostly due to experience.
We put the leading edge on the spar and started the horrible task of riveting the ribs to the spar. Wow, that was awful!
The rivets definitely aren't perfect, but given the difficulty with access, I think they're pretty darn good! I think I'll order a borescope - having an easy way to check rivets that are 3 feet back in dark spaces will be really handy.
The top skins were next. I got to pretend I was busy while Dad clecoed all of the skins on, then we started riveting. We ended up back riveting as many rivets as we could, and I'm glad we did. The skins turned out great!
