3 hrs. cleco'ing on the top skins of the left wing.

One-by-one each to skin added...



The step skin's trailing edge had to be bent more to fit the angle.  Turned out to be harder than I thought it would be.

I tried carefully putting all my weight on it (with a ruler across it), but that was not enough.  Ended up with this solution (maybe not the most sophisticated approach, but it worked).  This got it close enough to fit.

This was the angle it had to fit in to.  It started out at nearly twice the angle.

A sea of clecos!

NEXT TASKS:
  1. Rivet top skins, outer leading edge and fuel tank.
  2. Fill rivets with Bondo.
  3. Install landing lights.
  4. Wing tip assembly and light installation.
  5. Put the aileron and flap on the wing to check for straightness of the trailing edge (Thanks Peter, I saw that on your blog! ;-)).
  6. Finish sanding of left wing bottom rivet heads.
  7. Finish right wing.
  8. Finally finish one of the composite tips of the elevator.
  9. Fill rivets of elevator with Bondo.
  10. START ON FUSELAGE!
