Its amazing what you can get accomplished when you have a full day (almost with a few interuptions) to work on the plane. T and N helped me a little bit throughout the day. We finished the left wing skins and close out. It was a little tricky getting the closeout placed with all the bends to be made and the curves, but we were able to get it accomplished. A hole was cut for the light. The left wing is all done now except for the light. We placed it in our wing cradle and boy does it look nice.
Then the right wing was started following the same procedures as the left. The bottom skins and doubler were riveted. The wing was turned over and the leading edge was riveted. I then placed the template for the landing light. Using a dremel and a grinding disc I cut the hole out and then smoothed the edges. The holes were also drilled for the light bracket. We also marked and cut the lense, which I don't have a photo of yet. I can see how it is a lot easier to place the light now vs at the end of the build.
Time: 9.75
