Today, we got everything together, all the holes filled with rivets or some other appropriate object, and the wing flipped back with the top of the wing facing up. We had a couple of pop rivets that didn't want to cooperate so we sent them to rivet Heaven and replaced them with rivets that would cooperate. We did notice some strange noises in the wing though, when we flipped it over. (...anybody know how to remove rivet nails from a sealed wing???)
We made the handy little tool for bending and we got all the angles pretty close, and that was pretty important in the assembly process in order to make everything fit.
I think we're going to go ahead and make some kind of cradle for the wing before we finish up the right wing, possibly using the suggested vehicle previously posted by Jerry.
We have a little concern about what shows on the underside of the wing, on the outboard side. You can see the factory spacers on the end piece; I just wonder if they knew that was going to be exposed.
