The last week has been pretty hectic, but I have been able to squeeze in\u00a0a few minutes\u00a0now and then. Mostly with riveting on platenuts for the landing light brackets and leading edge to fuel tank attach strips.
\nTonight I got a lot of work done though, I am almost half way through riveting the right leading edge.<\/p>\n

Here are the installed platenuts for the landing light bracket on one of the leading edge ribs..

The finished landing light lens attach plates…

The finished landing light brackets. I installed the lamp in one of the brackets, looks great!

Here are the finished\u00a0fuel tank to leading edge attach strips…

Tonight I started out dimpling the right leading edge skin and ribs.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then I clecoed the ribs to the skin..
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

With that done, I used my squeezer to set the aft rivets. This is the first rivet in the wing skins!! \ud83d\ude00
\nNote the attach strip installed between the skin and rib…
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now I could start riveting the leading edge. I got almost half way through, before calling it a night. I might need a hand to rivet the forward most rivets. Don’t want to dent this thing…
