Right outer wing surface

Started on the ribs for the outer wing surfaces. The second ribs require a 19 reamer and a 20 drill bit due to the AN365 bolts/screws used as fasteners. Luckily I had those from earlier.

Stacking the main spar

Started stacking up the main wing spar. I definitely need some more and longer sheet holders. Even the 1/2 inch is too small. I have to order these, and leave the main spar for the time being after I have deburred the edges etc.

The other outer spar


There was too few 470 5-9 rivets. If it is an error from Sonex or if ACS has put a finger on the scale I don't know. Luckily I have a rivet cutter so I took a few 5-16 rivets and cut them to correct size.

Outer wing spar

Riveted the outer wing spar.

The other one is primed and left to dry overnight. Started with the aft spars. Deburred and bent the flange to correct angle.
