Left wing skins, access hatch, tip rib, handle

Spent some time with the help of T riveting the remaining rivets of the left skins.  The access hatch area was dimpled on the skin and nutplates placed. The access hatch was screwed in place although several screw heads ended up being stripped, so I will have to order some replacements. Most likely due to being the first screws in the nutplate. Using a hand screw driver slowly seemed to reduce the chance of stripping.  We place the tip rib, handle, and bottom tip skin.

Time: 1.5 hrs.
