Brief Description:  Riveted nutplates on left wing

There are a lot of nutplates on the main wing spars but they install fairly fast if you have a pneumatic squeezer. I did the squeezing with the spar mounted vertically in the jig but thinking about it later, it may have been a little faster if it was mounted aft side up (could have probably skipped the cleco and let the rivets hold the plate until squeezed). Anyway, all the nutpplates on the left wing are done and the results are good.

Next step will be to install the aileron bellcrank and then move on to the rear spar assembly. Hopefully, I can get back in the workshop this evening but this afternoon I have a tour assigned at the NMUSAF (Air Force and American air power 1946-present, HOOAH!).
