Brief Description:  Right Wing - rivet top skins

Jeff is a happy bunny: we reached a minor milestone tonight:- Jackie and I finally got out to the workshop to finish riveting the last bay of the top outboard skin. We then cleaned up a little and took the wing off the jig and put it on the workbench. We can now take the jig down: YAY!! I also ran the Angle-of-Attack tubing through the ribs; would you believe it, I am ONE snap bushing short!! Never mind, I'll order some more next time I send an order to Vans. The AoA tubing runs from the pressure ports, through an adel clamp that keeps it away from the metal edge of the lightening hole in the main spar, and then through the snap bushings in the ribs. Just like the pitot tube in the left wing. The tubes are a little loose through the snap bushings, so I'll use some silicon sealant to keep them nice and snug. I'm just hoping I can easily rivet around them when we're doing the bottom skins.
