Wings, Rear Spar (Part 13)

Yesterday, Jeff helped me finish riveting Wing Ribs #4 - #11.  Since there were two of us, those rivets turned out quit well.  The day prior, however, I shot the rivets by myself for Ribs #12, #13, and #1 - #3.  I wasn’t completely happy with a few of them, so I spent about 30 minutes today removing the “bad ones” and installing “new ones”.  Jeff helped me re-shoot them and the results were much better.  I’m happy now.....

So, moving on.....

Not a lot of work on the Rear Spar, but I completed the Alumiprep and Alodine process on the three Rear Spar Doublers (right side of the picture), Rear Spar Reinforcement Form and Rear Spar Doubler Plate.  They are now ready for Akzo primer during the next session.
