Brief Description:  Drilled out QB wing rivets on inboard rib.

To attach the bottom fuselage skin to the bottom of the wing, nutplates must be added to the inboard rib flange. Every other hole in the bottom wing skin and rib flange was supposed to have been left open when riviting the skin to the inboard rib. The Quick Build wings came with all the holes filled with rivets.

I, therefore, had to drill out every other rivet (10) and mark the holes with 3" lines to be able to locate the holes when drilling through the bottom fuselage skin with the wing attached. I did this with the wings still in the cradle on the back deck patio.
