Having finished up the left wing to page 17-06, I went back to page 15-04 to begin (again) the right wing. Having completed the right wing ribs, right rear spar assembly, etc. when I did the left wing gave me a jump start on the right wing. Brian (son-in-law) came over and we spent about 4 hours completing and riveting the main ribs to the spar , then attached the right rear spar assembly. This process went smoother on the right than it did for the left, mainly due to experience and lessons learned. We did a better job of protecting the spar from scratching and used the close-in hand riveter supplied by Avery's when it got a bit tight. Next I'll move onto the nose ribs.
