Brief Description:  Right leading edge; left skeleton

Received qty 100 LP4-3 and LP4-4 pull rivets from Van's today. LP4-4 are recommended to substitute for solid rivets for the leading edge rib to main spar where reaching in and bucking is just too painful. So I finished the last three inboard nose ribs with LP4-4. Right leading edge is permanently attached to the right main spar!

Deburred all holes in the left main spar. Riveted the nut plates for the left tank inboard z-brackets. Brack-riveting against the largest bucking bar left the flush rivet heads are a little proud of the spar web, but I don't want to drill them out--they aren't structural. The corresponding heads on the right wing aren't perfect in this regard either. Will either "sand" them down with a Scotch-brite wheel, or get a 1/4-28 rivet shaver bit for the microstop c-snk cage.

Began fitting the left main ribs to left spar. Put one flange to main spare rivet in rib number 4 and called it a night. Will be easiest to install the five inboard ribs in 4, 3, 2, 1, 5 order
