Brief Description: Riveting the W-1004-L Bottom Skin
3/31/2009 … Section 20 Bottom Wing Skins ....Page 20-5 step 10. After placing the Left Wing Assembly into the custom made cradle I placed the laid the W-1028B Wing Box J-Channel Stiffener into the rib notches and then clecoed the W-1004-L Bottom Inboard Wing Skin to the bottom flanges at the rear spar. Then I used some wire and tied back the aluminum W-1004-L Bottom Skin so I could reach the rivets at the back spar flange. This worked great I was easily able to gain access to the most difficul t rivets. Then simply rivet towards the sides and front to the main wing spar. I estimate that after finishing the Bottom Wing Skins I should be about 60% done with the wings. Time about 6 hours for the Left wing.
