Brief Description: Riveted on one aileron hinge
|
|
After modifying the wing stand by reversing the crossarms, I took the first (left) wing out of the cradle and placed it on the wing stand. Now I can move the cradle containing the right wing as needed to access it for controls and wiring inside the wing, and trailing edge items such as gap seals, flap brace & hinge, aileron hinges, etc.
Today, my niece and her 6 year old son Dalton came up from Jacksonville came up to visit family in the Atlanta area for a few days. Dalton was a bit hyperactive after spending most of the day in the car, so I decided to give him a way to work off a little of that energy and let him become a rivet bucker. The right outboard aileron hinge was about ready to rivet, so I finished match drilling it to the rear spar and outboard rib, and briefed Dalton on holding the bucking bar. He did quite well, and we did a passable job of driving all the rivets.
