Left wing
Catégorie: Wings : Skeleton

Left wing assembly. It tool less time than yesterday. First because it's easier if you use the right rivet length, yestarday I made some mistake reading the rivet layout (despite checking a few times). Then I had no rivet to drill out from the main spar. Then I riveted the rears spar. I changed the rivet head position, putting the head on the rib flange instead of the spar. It's the way Van's tells you to do it, it prevents the small distorsion f the flange I sometimes got yesterday, but it's less nice and it makes drilling out a bad rivet a real pain.

Then I bucked again two or three rivets on the right wing, and put both wings on the stand. I still have to square everything.



To finish I had to put one of the leading edges on the spar.
