Brief Description: Misc Tasks Before Left Wing Closing

Worked ona few odds-n-ends before closing up the wing to include: - Adding the spanwise stiffeners to the top skin. These reduce oil-canning and help hold the wing shape in flight - Tightening up the locknuts holding the aileron balance weights. - Riveting in the wing locker inside walls. - Adding safety wire to the aileron trim hinge. - Final corrosion control paint to the top sides of all the ribs, spars,and channels.

The spanwise stiffeners riveted in place on the top skin.

The aileron balance weights fully attached to the balance bar.

Interior walls of the wing locker riveted into place.
