A lot of work went on between the last picture and this one. The leading edge skins were assembled and the leading edge ribs riveted inside. The whole assembly was placed on top of the wing. The ribs were riveted to the forward spar and then the skins were flush riveted to the spar. The lower skins have now been mounted ready to be riveted. At this point, you have reached the last page of the wing assebly manual....a few hundred rivets will finish the wing for now. I can easily finish it in a weekend if I can find a riveting partner...with Gregs help, I accomplished in 2 months what it took the better part of a year to do on the other wing.
