Placed the forward right wing skin. The first side is easy; the other is not. Used ratcheting straps and alot of effort. This is difficult to do by yourself but can be done. It takes a great deal more force than I had expected to achieve the correct bend/wrap. My holes lined up perfectly!
Of course it can't all be good. After I got the forward skin on and and the spar to skin margin cleco'd on I noticed a little problem. I had completely missed putting a centerline on my forward ribs for the lower side. Such a simple thing but what a pain. Had no choice but to release the skin, mark up the centerlines and repeat the entire process of wrapping the fwd. skin.
It actually went easier this time but it still was rather irksome.
All skins are now piloted.
Started placing nutplates for the bellcrank access cover. Will soon be removing all of these skins for the clean-up.
