Brief Description:  RW.. servo adjst, platenuts and skin installation.

Strugglled a bit with the installed roll servo adjustment, the previously marked positions weren't corresponding to proper travel on the rods and there was a clearance problem at the ribs. Some more adjustment and proper orientation of the small rod to the big rod fixed the problem.

With this finalized as well as all internals in place I installed the skin in place on the wing and trimmed the edges, rounded the corners and made sure of proper fit at all riveted points. I installed the access cover platenuts and finalized the access cover plates - deburred, dimpled and edged.

I then began the inboard riveting - mostly those rivets I could reach with the hand squeezer were set, working much slower and more carefully this time to avoid the kind of denting I got last time. Once these reachable rivets are set I will begin working towards the tip with a helper at the bucking bar.
