Jul 09, 2017     Completed top of left wing - (6.5 hours) Category: Wings
Lots of riveting at the hangar today but no pictures because I forgot my phone. But finished up the ouboard and inboard skins, then put the middle skin in place. I tried something new to get things to fit better. When installing the skin, I cleco four corners. Then I put the pop rivets in by hand while everything in loose. I put them in ever other hole.

Then I cleco every other hole -- the open holes -- and then I can just rip throgh the rivets, remove the clecos and put rivets in those holes. Much faster and a lot less abuse of the sheet metal.

I also put the inboard doubler in. I have flipped the wing upside down again and will work on the outboard handle and ribs tomorrow or Tuesday,

I'm beat.
