Right Wing Assembly

nose ribs riveted

Deburred all of the holes and sprayed the trimmed edge of the nose ribs with rattle can primer.  I then riveted them all in.  Between the alligator squeezer and C yoke squeezer I was able to squeeze all but 1 rivet (where the strut attach bar sits).  I prefer squeezing over trying to use the offset bit in the gun, especially solo.  You can’t use a straight bit because the gun will hit the adjacent attach angle.  Nothing really of note during the process, I think I upsized 2 rivets to -4 because when I drilled I must have wobbled and didn’t end of with a clean hole.  Took less than 2 hours.

looking like a wing again.  This part is fun, serious visual progress.IMG_0417.JPG (2)
