Now that the tanks are finished, time to rivet the leading edges so they can be added to the spars. Most of the work was already completed before the leading edges were primed. They were just clecoed back in place, and then riveted. This went pretty easily, and next it is on to putting the tanks and leading edges on the wing spar.
So next was putting the tanks and leading edges on the main spar. First the leading edge goes on. Then the tank is added. This helps to ensure there is no sag in the spar when the main skins go on.
This is super exciting! Great progress, even though it is hot outside in Texas now. it really starts to look like a part of an airplane now. Next will be the main wings skins.
