Brief Description:  Riveted left wing ribs to spars

I riveted the left wing ribs to the main and rear spars. I accomplished the rear spar riveting alone using a pneumatic squeezer. For the main spar, I needed some help from Connie. Usually, Connie handles the gun but for this task, Connie did the bucking and I drove the rivets using a 2X gun with an offset rivet set. The 3X gun would probably be a better choice for these rivets but the 2X works fine using a longer burst. I got a nice rivet job on these fasteners but they were easy to buck.
