Brief Description:  Rivet Rear Spar on Right Wing

Jason and I set up a temporary bench and riveted the rear spar on the right wing skeleton with the squeezer. We traded duty on the squeezer and as the set up person to keep fresh muscles on the squeezer. Got all the rivets done on the right wing. As we got close to the end we found a couple of rivets I had marked to leave out that could actually be set at this point. Once we finished with the right wing we recruited some helpers from the holiday vistors (our daughter and Jason's girlfriend) and we moved the left wing off the mobile stand, onto the bench, set the additional rivets and moved everything back to access the right wing again.

We squared up the right wing skeleton per the plans and cleco'd on the outboard top skin. We neede to make the wing walk doublers before proceeding. I located the proper stock pieces of aluminum sheet and laid out the measurements from the plans. Made the inititial cuts with a dremel cutoff wheel, leaving approximately 1/8 inch excess to be trimmed later.
