Brief Description:  Riveted LH inner bottom skin

Scarfed the forward corners of the bottom skins where they overlap. This was done for the top skins too but it's not as important for the bottom skins since it's strictly cosmetic.

I mounted the LH wing back in the wing stand to better position it for riveting from the aft spar forward.

I then clecoed the LH inner bottom skin to the structure and started riveting. Following the instructions I started at the after spar and worked forward and outwards in "L" patterns to allow access as I went along. I was able to reach all of the rivet locations with the titanium bucking bar by reaching through the inspection hatches and lightning holes. I used the fixed (non-swiveling) mushroom set which worked well. The OML of the skin looks good with just a couple of very minor dents.
