Brief Description:  Wing skeleton and skins

My rivet gun was back in my hands in no time and today I was able to complete riveting the main ribs to the front spar. This completed the skeleton and I was ready to place it on the wing stands. I fiddled with it a bit to get it level and straight and fashioned a temporary stand to prop up the center of the rear spar to take the bow out of the spars. The wing walk doubler was cut from sheet stock and then drilled using the wing skin holes as a pattern. Then I clecoed the top wing skins and the wing walk doubler to the skeleton. I stopped at Home Depot on the way home and bought a jack stand that I will use to prop up the center of the spar during my next session.
