Brief Description:  Top left rear wing skin drilled

Now that the rest of the kit has been brought to the house, I am back at it.

The upper left rear skin was located and drilled in place. I have to say this is the first time I have run into predrilled holes that were not exactly where they should be. If you follow the instruction and mark the rivet line on the front and rear spar you will find that the predrilled holes in the skins wander a bit. At the root, the 4 wing walk ribs line up perfectly and the next one further outboard did as well. The tip rib lined up perfectly as well, but the 3 ribs between were off line by up to 5-6mm. I could easily get the ribs to line up during drilling so I am not too worried.
