Brief Description:  More Riveting on Right Wing Top Skin

My buddy Kevin came over to help buck rivets today. We started with the outboard rib, starting in the center and working up and down the rib. Then we worked on the main spar rivets, again starting in the center and alternating sides. We back riveted all these rivets. Still had a couple of bad shop heads that will have to be removed. We finished up the outboard skin with the double row of rivets where the skins overlap as called for in the plans. We also used the mushroom set and bucking bar to set the last few rivets on the inboard skin rear spar near the root. Nearly done with the top skins.
