Brief Description: Riveted top outboard skin to rear spar
I finished tightening the #8 screws holding the tank skin to the spar, but have not torqued the bolts from the spar to the tank attach angles. I will probably do that when I turn the wing leading edge down in the jig.
Tonight I decided to go ahead and squeeze the rivets holding the top outboard skin to the rear spar, just to have the outboard skin finished except where it overlaps the inboard skin. I was able to reach all of them with the pneumatic squeezer, but had to sit on the floor to do it. All went beautifully until about 4 rivets from the end, when I didn't get a good grip on the squeezer, and left the rivet head a little high above the wing surface. So, drilled it out and replaced it, and called it a night.
The trailing edge all riveted to the rear spar.
