Jul 14 2002 - Had a friend cut the spacers for the aileron bracket and aileron pushrods on a lathe.

Jul 15 2002 - Riveted the RH wing top inboard skin to the wing. We'll finish the top skins on this side later in the week.

Jul 18 2002 - Finished riveting the RH top skins in place. Now on to fitting the aileron and flap.

Jul 31 2002 - The LH flap hinge has been replaced. The gap was a little wider than called for and I wanted to get the hinge center in the middle of the gap.

Jul 31 2002 - The RH aileron and flap have been fit to the wing along with the gap seal and flap brace.

Jul 31 2002 - Both wings are now free of clecoes on the top side. Taking these pictures is a little hard, it's like photographing a mirror! Some final prep work and the bottom skins are ready for riveting.
