Wing skin riveting and parachute install kit ordered: 6.8 hours

Accomplished today:

Finished riveting flap brace to rear spar, set up snap bushings and pull strings to enable easy wiring when wing is riveted, installed the autopilot servo wiring and started riveting the inboard bottom skin on.

The inboard section is the most difficult riveting on the bottom skin due to the close spacing of the inboard ribs. Progress is slow but I got about half of the hardest riveting done.

Autopilot servo wire harness and pull strings:

 

Tricky riveting...
