Brief Description:  Right leading edge riveting #2

More riveting on the right leading edge this morning. Didn't get done before I ran out of time, but I should be able to complete it next session and then I will move back onto the fuel tanks. Mike Cencula who is building a -7 up nearby is willing to come over and help with the "black death" so hopefully I will be ready to go in a week or less. I experimented with masking tape on the rivet squeezer (outboard rib) to see if it left less scuff marks, seemed to work well, but I had to change tape after about 4 or 5 rivets so it's not too convenient.

Reaching through with the bucking bar it's too handy on the nose section of the ribs but it works.
