Brief Description:  RH wing assy

Finished the RH wing - riveted the forward 2 rows of the upper leading edge skin, got help to turn the wing over, riveted the lower leading edge skin. Put the wing on the wing rack, and moved things around to allow a car back in the garage. Wing rack on casters seems to work pretty well so far. Only issue was my hand-hammered wing ribs I left the flange a little wide to ensure good edge distance for the rivets - this interfered with the pitot/static tube attachment nutplate (inside the skin). I thought this might be an issue and planned to trim the rib flange down after a test fit, but forgot that, and riveted the skin to the main spar before remembering the problem. So I bent the rib flange inboard some with a screwdriver through the p/s tube hole. Worked out fine. Now that wing is done, need to work out where to get back to next - fuselage or horizontal stabilizer. Both of these were pushed off because I'll need to polish some more skins before assembling either of them.
