Jan 03, 2023     Right OBLE done - (2.0 hours)       Category: Wings
Tonight's session was all about finishing up the remaining rivets in the right Outboard Leading Edge wing section. This involved mostly the top half of the remaining 4 ribs, and the J-channel stiffener. Getting the rivets near the nose of the wing were definitely harder, both due to the full length that you must reach into the tank to rivet, as well as the complexity of riveting on a highly curved surface. I did end up using two "Oops rivets" to upsize to a larger hole after I had to unintentionally oversized a couple of bad rivets, but the results still came out nicely.

I'm going to pause with the Right OBLE instructions here because the next step would have you combine it with the rest of the wing spar assembly (which I haven't done yet for the right wing). Also, I'm considering not doing that part of the assembly until after I move the pieces to the hangar, while they're still small and easy to move.

What's next? Preparing the left OBLE for riveting, by scuffing the mating surfaces and dimpling for flush rivets.
