3 hrs. flipping the wing, test fitting the bottom skins and the leading edge skin.

Pitot assembly cleco'ed in.

Turns out I don't need to cut the hole for the pitot, it's already in the skin.  Ahh...
Bottom skins fit nice.

Time-lapse video of working the leading edge skin around the ribs.


And the leading edge skin fits too.

NEXT SESSIONS:
  1. Forgot this: Just like the right wing there are holes along the main spar that don't line up with the bottom skin, so those need to be drilled.
