We finished riveting the Right Outboard Leading Edge Skin (again, minus the J-Channel) during today’s session.
Another view of the inside Ribs with the J-Channel clecoed into place.
Like I said yesterday, this is a cool shot! Additionally, the aluminum J-Channel you see clecoed here will also have to be painted flat black to match the Landing Light Bay. I will do this after it gets primed.
Below are the completed Left and Right Outboard Leading Edge Skins awaiting the J-Channels (the row of clecos in each Skin). I will alumiprep, alodine, and prime the J-Channels in the next few days and rivet them into place. Then, the Skins will really be complete.
