Ben and his son Zack came over today to help me rivet the main ribs to the spar. Ben will be helping me to rivet the skins later on so he came over to get a bit of training. Also got Zack involved a little....we may have a budding RV builder in the future. After we completed the ribs Ben and I practiced riveting/bucking on scrap material.
Later that evening mounted the wing correctly on the stand and levelled the wing. I used a scissor jack against the middle of the rear spar to level the the wing horizontally. Like others, I used fishing line between both ends of the main spar.
I'm ready for this!
