Brief Description:  Leading Edge, Flaps, Aileron

Jumped all around today but essentially finished the right outboard leading edge riveting (except for attaching to the spar) along with starting both the Flap and Aileron's. The Flaps had some tough angles with the nose ribs and main ribs on the spar, but nothing insurmountable. Back riveting the stiffeners on the Ailerons was a breeze, I just need to remember to make sure the rivet is over the steel backrivet plate before hitting it with the rivet gun. The rivet goes straight into the wood no issues if you miss the plate. Also got the left Aileron leading edge complete with the SS counterbalance in place. Takes some sequence manipulation to get the holes to line up, but all doable.

Side note, if you are holding a Tungston bucking bar in your hand and hit your finger between the bar and the thin edge of aluminum skin. It will cut straight through the skin and bleed all over the project.
