With a lot of helpers and a few sessions, I’m making headway on the main skin riveting. Unfortunately a surprise issue this evening resulted in a bit of a delay. Read on for detail!

Tod and I started the main top skin in this session. Long way to go, but it’s great to get started on this next big step.

A qucik post on finishing up the Right Leading edge riveting.

In a two shift marathon, Sam, Tod, and I got the right leading edge fully riveted, and attached to the main spar. Leassons learned from the left wing resulted in a much better job this time around. Read on for more detail.

In a welcome straightforward session, Todd dropped by for support as I riveted the rest of the leading edge skin to the main spar. Read on for a quick recap of the session.

All’s well that ends well. What turned out to be an up and down ride on the left leading edge to main spar riveting resulted in a completed task. Read on to learn what all the kerfuffle is about, and what I’m going to do differently in the next round.

A solid session of rivetting during a great Warriors game netted the first fully rivetted leading edge! Checkout the post for more detail

With the priming done, and enough cure time out of the way, it’s time to dimple everything and prepare for rivetting!

A long evening session with Sam got us through a big prepping step. Read on for a recap of the work.

Cold morning and pleasant afternoon sessions got me through the countersinking challenge! Glad that’s done!!
