Slow but Sure - Left Wing Upper Wing Skins
Today I attached and riveted the inboard upper skin to the left wing. Then determined that the flaperon brackets would require priming. Remember I am priming the mating surfaces. Took a bit of time. Installation of the flaperon brackets also took a bit of time. Used the wedge techniques described in the EAA videos. Still had to drill out and remove 2 of the rivets because I was not satisfied. Then decided to prime the left and right wing doublers as they are mating surfaces and their installation is upcoming.
Time - 6 hours
