Brief Description:  Left wing leading edge install #2

Woke up early 4am and installed the leading edge onto the right wing. I blind riveted all of the ribs to the wing spar and then squeezed the flush rivets that attaches the leading edge skin to the spar. Went well except for one of the flush skin rivets that also goes through the main wing rib, had to drill it out and use an oops rivet (can't tell unless you know it's there or you look from inside the wing. Oh well, that slowed me down alittle. Next step is to mount the rest of the leading edge which happens to be the fuel tank. It goes on with screws and nuts for ease of maintenance, etc.
