After fixing the bad rivets on Saturday it was time to rivet the rear spar to the aft ribs. The pictures below show the only tricky spot. The rivets would normally all go in from one side, but as you can see, the lower, rearmost rivet was put in from the opposite side as the rest. I had a clearance issue and this works just fine.
After riveting the rest of the aft ribs to the rear spar the frame for the right wing was complete and ready for storage.
The sequence of pictures below show the hanging of the completed frame. I rigged up two ratcheting straps to the garage ceiling and with the help of my son stored the frame in the space between the ceiling and the open garage door. It looks wonderful.
Who is that guy in the military surplus flight suit? Oh, that’s me in my favorite acquisition at Oshkosh. It fits great and I look MARVELLOUS.
