Brief Description: Final assembly of the left wing leading edge
Put the left leading edge in the cradle and started riveting the ribs on the skin. This part is finally showing the finished product. Realized that my riveting process was a little to firm. I found that I could hold the bucking bar a little loose between my fingers and let it hammer the rivet in a slight vibration action, an it would leave a much better set rivet along with a smoother finish on the top skin. Still learning as we go. Very satisfied with the end result. This is practice for the fuel tanks.
