Right wing finish / start flaperons

Great accomplishment today getting the right wing completed (minus the tip lighting). Started out attaching the handle and top skins. The hole was cut in the tip closeout for the lighting. The closeout was riveted and the right wing was placed in the cradle with the left wing. Don't they look great together!  I have ordered some epoxy that will be needed to install the wing tip lights, so that will have to wait for another day.

Then on to the flaperons. The counterbalance was match drilled and attached to the nose ribs. The outbd nose skin was clecoed and the counterbalance was match drilled.

Time: 3.5 hrs
