Riveting away...

With painter's tape keeping any stray sealant off the wing the tank is hanging!  I'll let the sealant set a bit overnight and I'll rivet the backplate tomorrow.  Then it will hang for another 2 days and then off for testing.

NEXT TASKS:

1. Rivet backplate tomorrow and then on Monday tank off and test for seal. (while it's hanging I'll continue prepping fuselage parts).
2. Mark bolts.
3. Fuel tank on.  Just bolted at this point.
4. Top skins riveted on (STRINGERS!).  Top skins of left wing need priming.  Fill rivets with Bondo.
5. Leading edge riveted on (STRINGER!).  Fill rivets with Bondo.
6. Rivet fuel tank on.  Fill rivets with Bondo.
7. Wing tip assembly and light installation.
