Brief Description:  Top Skin, Ribs pilot drilled.

I laid out the top aft skin onto the left wing and found that the aft root rib bracket had not been bent to the required 86.1 degrees. This part was included with the pre-formed extruded alum pieces and I should have verified the correct angle prior to installation.

As a result Ispent 2 hours removing the hard to access nuts and bolts, drilling out 11 rivets, putting in the 86.1degree bend, rivet again to the rib, and finally reinstall on the main spar.

After correcting the rib bracket the top skin fell right into place. I clamped, measured and pilot drilled the main and rear spars.

My brother Doug was in town and helped me place the right wing into the new wing stand. I removed the right forward skin from the box on the floor and with the wing on the stand I have a lot of extra room in the shop.
