Wings part 28

Working on the right wing's bottom skins tonight.  For some reason this seams like déjà vu!

Riveted the inboard bottom skin onto the right wing skeleton back to the main spar.

And then the outboard bottom skin back to the main spar.

And finally the center bottom skin back to the main spar.

Another thousand rivets pulled!

Then I riveted all the bottom skins aft of the main spar.

Then I flipped the wing and riveted the top skins per the KAI's.  Only 5 rivets up to allow room for the top aft skins to fit into the rib notches.

Then I riveted in the flaperon hinge brackets.  Much easier since I left the corner rivet out of the rib doubler until after the hinge was riveted in.

And the other one.

Tomorrow is priming the rest of the top skins and riveting them.  Hopefully I will get them done before the weekend camping trip.  Won't be able to work on the plane till next Wednesday.
