Brief Description:  Nose Ribs Rivet, Leading Edge Skin Rivet (Bottom)

Got up early to reattach and rivet the nose ribs. After flipping the wing upside down, I clecoed the nose ribs back into place and riveted them - easy-peasy. I had lots of time left before work, so I moved on.

First, I painted the flanges on the nose ribs where the bottom portion of the leading edge skin attaches to them. I also painted the rivet line on the rear bottom skin whre the leading edge skin covers them. Then, taking the nose skin which I had already prepped back on 10 July, I re-clecoed it to the main spar and nose ribs. I then riveted the bottom half of the leading edge skin using A5 (big) rivets along the spar and A4 (medium) rivets through the nose rib flanges.
