Brief Description:  Finished riveting the left L/E assembly.

I managed to finish off the last few rivets at the front edge of the left hand leading edge assembly by myself. I then got to work on more main spar countersinking on the bottom side of the wing. Finally I ground away some more material from the top of my cheap disposable rivet puller. I decided to use blind rivets to attach the leading edge ribs to the main spar instead of what appears to be a very difficult job to do with solid rivets. Van's has approved using LP4's blind rivets for this.
