Today was a BIG day in Section 17.....we joined (riveted) the Left Outboard Leading Edge to the Left Main Spar. The 63 rivets for the top are located just above the black line in the picture below.
The 62 rivets on the bottom are located just above the black line in the picture below. (One of the rivets locations will be used for the installation of the pitot tube at some point in the future, which is why there is only 62 rivets on the bottom and not 63 like on the top). Additionally, the six Wing Ribs seen below (and area in the black circle) had to be blind riveted to the Main Spar AND the Ribs in the Leading Edge. The three Wing Ribs on the right used LP4-3 rivets and the three Wing Ribs on the left used LP4-4 rivets. The area in the black circle below used universal AN470AD4-5 rivets.
Here is the front (or top) of the Left Wing in the wing cradle with all the rivets installed in the Outboard Leading Edge.....
.....and the back (or bottom) of the Left Wing with all the rivets installed in the Outboard Leading Edge.
I will have to make a few adjustments to the Wing cradle tomorrow to level out the Main Spar. Otherwise, the cradles are working great. We will attach (rivet) the Right Outboard Leading Edge to the Right Main Spar tomorrow.
