Brief Description:  LEFT Wing - drilled upper aft skin

It's a little nerve wracking putting on the first skin. If you screw this up, you might as well throw the whole wing assembly away. Your drililng into every aft rib, and then through the top spar cap.

Like others, the process was to:

- Drill all the holes in the rear spar
- Cleco skin to rear spar
- Start at the aft end of the center rib, and drill and cleco down that rib, until you get to the spar cap. Make sure the holes are aligned with the Sharpie centerlines drawn down the ribs. Use the "stick" from my post of yesterday, to adjust the inner ribs.
- Do the same thing on each other rib, moving alternately on each rib on opposite sides of the center rib you started with. Sorry I didn't take pictures during the process. I'll do it on the next skin.
- Make sure to keep alignment of the wing throughout the process!!!
