Riveted Right Wing Leading Edge and Top Wing Skins

Andre will be stopping by later today to help me finish up the right wing, so I got started this morning by making the wing cradle that will hole the wings after they come off the jig.  This is basically built according to plans with the exception of the casters so that it can be easily moved.

I didn’t get any pictures during the process, but in about three hours, Andre and I knocked out the leading edge and top skins of the right wing.  I still need to squeeze the rivets along the rear spar and inboard rib, but other than that it is ready to come off the wing jig.

I went ahead and installed the autopilot roll servo and torqued the mounting bolts.  The wire still needs to be secured to keep from interfering with the aileron bellcrank, but that will have to wait until I get some adel clamps.
