Brief Description: Beginning final assembly of the right wing
|
|
A couple of days ago, I unclecoed the top outboard skin and removed it long enough to squeeze the rivets holding the top of the leading edge to the spar, then re-clecoed the outboard skin in place. Still had to leave the tank off, because it is in the way of driving/bucking the rivets in the center leading edge rib to the spar web.
After a couple of tries, Steve and I were able to get our schedules together and he came over tonight and we riveted the center rib of the leading edge to the front of the spar, thus allowing that area to be closed off with the fuel tank. While he was here, we went ahead and riveted on the top outboard skin, except for the skin to rear spar rivets, but we had gotten a late start and did not have time to do the inboard skin.
After Steve left, I decided to go ahead and mount the tank, so I put it in place and started all the skin screws, and the bolts holding the attach angles to the spar. I ran them most of the way up, but did not torque them in place, it was getting late.

Not a bad fit between the tank and leading edge.
