Today I torqued up the fuel tank bolts on the right wing, then spent time cleaning out the inside of the wing, removing filings and dust. I added some spiral wrap to protect the wiring where it passes near bolts in the spar, and some addition zip ties to stiffen the wiring runs up some more.
With that done, I filed the edges of the outboard bottom skins where they form a lap joint with the inboard skin. Since the inboard skin is already installed, I just shaped the outboard skin by rounding the edges of the skin. I’m not too worried about it, since it’s on the bottom and will be out of sight.
Once I had the skins done, I clecoed them to the wings and started riveting the left wing first. It’s definitely a stretch to reach up to the rear spar, but so far it has been doable. I anticipate many more riveting sessions in the coming weeks while I finish off both wings.
