Brief Description:  Left wing leading edge part #8

I got to the leading edge riveting tonight...didn't take all that long. I inserted the 3-3.5 rivets every second hole the entire length of the leading edge and then placed a piece of scotch tape to hold them in place.

Once that was done, riveting was pretty quick. Removed the remaining clecoes and repeated the process for the rest of the rivtets and the other side of the leading edge. The joint plate was attached to the leading edge with 3-4 size rivets. The fuel tank is loosely sitting on the spar in this shot and the seam looks pretty good at this point. There shouldn't be any issues.

The access backing plate for the stall warning system was also attached to the bottom of the leading edge at this time.
