RV Left Wing

October 15, 2004 - Left Wing Leading Edge
This is the bottom left corner of the leading edge. I used the Unibit to drill the hole for the pitot tube (left) and the hole for the tie-down ring (upper right). I don't know what I was thinking, but I made the tie-down ring hole much bigger than it needed to be. Later on, I decided to rivet a patch behind it.

It's time to rivet the leading edge together.

You can't see it, but I'm holding the bucking bar in my left hand. I did a pretty good job. Didn't have to drill out any rivets.

The riveting leading edge -- sans clecoes -- sitting on the main spar.

I bolted the tie-down bracket (on the left) to the main spar. I torqued the bolts with my new torque-wrench.
