Brief Description:  Right wing riveting + aileron riveting

Finished riveting all ther perimeter rivets of the top wing skins, using the squeezer.

Then went back to the aileron. After prime painting the parts, I back riveted all the stiffeners. Back riveting is great! It's fast and gives nearly perfect results.

Then I had to use the bending tool used for the tail control surfaces, to bend the aieleron skin. It's nerve wracking because you're always afraid you might overdo it and crease the trailing edge. But it came out well, Just do it in several steps, moving the aileron closer and closer to the hinges each time.
