Brief Description: Rivet Leading edges and attaching to spar
I started out nice and early this morning by continuing riveting the skins. I'm getting pretty comfortable with bucking rivets. I finished both Leading edges and placed them on the wing frame. I clecoed the right L.E. to the spar and began to rivet the ribs to the spar. I was able to reach all of the rivets, except the ones at the rib by the access panel. My arms are too big to reach through the end hole, so I will have Wendy help me with this one. I then riveted the skins to the spar using the squeezer. I'm finally in final assembly on the wings!! I finished the right wing and then set the tank on the spar. The edges match perfectly....I still have to do a leak test on the tanks before I attach it to the frame. Tomorrow I will work on the left leading edge and I should be ready for skins soon.....
Look Ma.......No Clecos!
After riveting on the leading edge, I had to set the tank in place.....just to see!
