Brief Description:  Placed and drilled leading edge skin top side

My work day in the garage was made possible by two visits from Rob Bedley from work. Rob is a pilot and a super handy guy who has wide interests...including experimental aviation. Rob's 7am visit was to help me flip the right wing so I could work on the top side. After his work day, he came by to help me play musical chairs with my two wings. Because I was able to finish the leading edge skin, the rest of my work is trimming the ends and "plumbing" the wing. That can be done in another location, freeing the worktable to be home for the left wing as it undergoes its transformation. So, we moved my right wing to the single car garage, on sawhorses to provide a good working surface. I'm extremely happy with the way the right wing is coming together. Seeing it with the leading edge skin really brings the project to life.
