Brief Description:  Rivet leading edge, countersink spar

Completed riveting of right leading edge. Next countersunk all rivet holes in the front spar using microstop countersink in pneumatic drill. After giving the wing skeleton and floor a good vacuuming to clean up all the aluminum shavings I riveted the main ribs to the front spar where they fall under the tank overlap.Completed dimpling the rear edge of the leading edge skins using the pneumatic squeezer. Then the leading edge was placed on the front spar and the ribs and skin were clecoed to the spar in preparation for riveting to the spar. That will have to wait until I have a helper available.
