Brief Description:  Finish RIGHT wing ribs, start RIGHT leading edge

Referring to yesterday's question, I asked Vans about the aileron gap seal. They said it gets trimmed from the two small notches in the edged of the piece. I did that, and you can see it in photo #1. It doesn't get installed now, but I needed to know how it fit before I put in the rivets.

That being done, I set the last 4 rivets, plus the countersunk rivets at the outside end of the rear spar.

The wing stands I am borrowing from Dave Setzer are at the airport, so I decided to work on the outboard leading edge of the wing.

The skin goes in the cradle I built earlier, and then the ribs are inserted and cleco'd.

I'll grab the wing stand tomorrow.
