Wings, Top Wing Skins (Part 20)

After “completing” the Outboard Leading Edges, we shifted our attention back to the Top Wing Skins.  All the rivets need to be bucked in both Top Wing Skins.  During today’s “second” session, be installed 82 of these rivets.  Below is a shot of the area we started working on.  Additionally, there will be a J-Channel installed in the horizontal row of holes after the Skins get riveted.  In order to get the tightest Skins possible, the plans state to rivet from the center of the Skin and work toward the tips and roots.

Many more rivets await us tomorrow.....
