Wing (L) skins in place

§31-13, -14, -26, -27, -28, -29, 30, -31

It was a busy week.  The kit assembly instructions happen to call out all fasteners as well as part numbers.  It claims that there are 2209 LP4-3 rivets in this chapter and I do not dispute that number!   We left off with the upper skins attached to each other and to the wing skeleton.  I spent a one long day and the next morning riveting all of the main skins to the spars and ribs.   Lots of repetitive but quick and satisfying work.   This includes getting the wing flipped over and the bottom was done, too.  Now I feel like I actually have a wing!

(I'm having some technical issues with photos.  I'll edit this and include pictures when I get it straightened out.)
