Brief Description:  Finished left wing

I completed the wing by first bending the tabs on the wing closeout. That went OK EXCEPT that I inserted the tab for the most forward hole too far into the slot in the bending tool via the instructions. So the close out wouldn't fit properly. I tried rebending the tab, which caused a stress crack in the adjacent cutout so I stop drilled that. Eventually I got it to fit in the slot under the wing skin but it's a little uglier there than I would like.

I also has neglected the instruction for the aft wing skin so I installed that and then began the long process of riveting the closeout and the most outboard rib, which I'd left open til now. It came out fine.

Then I added the trailing edge, checked that it was parallel to the wing skin (it was) matched drilled, deburred and riveted in place. Done.

Seems like I should have been able to do the NAV lighting somewhere around here because I've boxed in all the wiring, but I guess that'll have to wait until later. I've got to get some fiberglass supplies anyway.

Lucie (the dog) came out to the hangar with me but when the temperature got 93 and the heat from the ramp started overtaking us, we called it a day.
