Two hours were spent on the last holes on the right wing. Many holes still need to get drilled out to A4 and A5, but the hard part is done.

For the inboard section of the wing root I made only a few holes with the strap duplicator making sure that the top skin had the crimped regions marked. Then I connected the dots and drilled the remaining holes for a better fit.

The extra 400 clecos ordered from Wicks came in handy.

On Saturday my wings will be inspected for craftsmanship, and any needed corrections will be made. After that I will do all the needed drilling out, fuel filter installation, ground wire installation, deburring and corrosion protection, final wire run and then riveting. I hope to get back 500 clecos from the wings.

Friday the fuselage arrives at some point between 9am and Noon.
