Manual Reference:  Sec 16 - Top Skins
Brief Description:  Completed riveting right top skins

Finished riveting the last few rivets that I had previously drilled out. Also final drilled and riveted on the outboard aileron hinge bracket. That got riveted on last because it blocks access to the top skin rivets in that corner. The plans have a warning about this. I had opted to rivet the rear spar rivets first, followed by the outboard rib rivets. In hind sight, doing the rib side rivets first gave better bucking bar access and better shop heads. I know this because I ended up having to drill a couple out and replace them. I also had to use a long rivet set on the spar rivets due to interference from the bracket itself.
