Brief Description: Riveting bottom of nose skin to rear spar and fron
With the wing tip sort of done, I could see no reason why I could not rivet the bottom of the nose skin in place. Before I did this I used the edging tool that Dusan made, to put a slight bend in the nose skin where it will contact the spar. This is to ensure that the edge sits down nice and flat. Boy there are a lot of rivets here. I finished the A5 spar rivets first and folowed this with the A4 nose skin rivets. This done I got Anne-Marie to help me flip the wing over so that I can fit the fuel tank, drill the required holes for the vent, fuel drain and filler cap. Should be fun, getting everything nicely located. I was amazed, Anne-Marie is pretty strong, she flipped the wiong over easier then Clive and I the other week, must be all that walking. Hit the 200 hour build mark today...so what does this mean, 700 hours total to finish...
