My buddy Andre stopped by today and helped me rivet the outboard wing leading edges together. Here, we’re riveting the inboard rib which includes an extra strip of aluminum with nutplates to hold on the tank. The plans called for AN426AD3-4 rivets, but -4.5 worked better.
Here’s the completed left leading edge.
…and completed right leading edge. I’m really enjoying getting back to basic aluminum work (without having to mess with tank sealant). It’s nice how much faster structures like this go together.
