Left aileron and wing riveting: 8.2 hours

Started out by dimpling, cleaning and priming the left aileron stiffeners and skin. (Also primed the tailwheel fork.)

I made some supports for the rear wing spar to help steady the wing during riveting.

I got half of the stiffeners back riveted onto the aileron skin.

Britt and I spent about 1.7 hours riveting the inboard top skin for the left wing. The long offset rivet set is still tricky but I'm getting more comfortable with it.

 

Back riveting left aileron stiffeners:

 

Good results!
