Brief Description:  Right wing outer bottom skin - 1

Started to rivet the outer bottom skin on the right wing.
I started with the lap joint and worked my way towards the wingtip. It went really slow as for each rivet the bucking bar had to be put in position by feel.

I did this by making sure the bar was centered over the hole, then I let the rivet push the bucking bar, cover the rivet with magic tape and shoot the rivet.

In addition my forearm is just about the right size to enter the lightening holes for access. I guess it is good I haven't been in a gym for years.....

For the rivets at the main spar, I used a 3/4 plywood piece to position the bucking bar.
