Brief Description:  Completed riveting left top skin

Tonight I completed riveting the top skin to the left wing by riveting the outboard skin to the bottom spar using the pneumatic squeezer. The wing is now stable and can be moved from the construction stand into a storage cradle.

So I stopped by Home Depot to pick up some lumber and plywood for the construction of the cradle. I can do some of this work at home and then will assemble it at the hangar.

Once off the stand I will begin work on the right wing. My intention is to get the right wing to the same stage as I now have the left, then I will then assemble both leading edge fuel tanks at the same time. The tanks require the use of an epoxy type sealer so building them at the same time should save time and mess with using the sealer. Once the tanks are complete I will move on to the construction of the flaps and ailerons for both wings.
