Happy Birthday goes out to my wife who turned the Big Five Zero today! 50! It'll be my turn next year.
Today I finished riveting the VS ribs to the forward spar. I had stopped yesterday because I needed to drill out a couple rivets that I missed the head on with the rivet gun. I accomplished that with no issues. After completing all the riveting of the ribs, I took the forward spar assembly and cleco'd it to the VS skin. Next was riveting the skin to the VS-702 forward spar from the center to the tip then from the center to the root then back from the center along the VS-707 rib. Next, I cleco'd the rear spar to the skin then riveted it to the skin then riveted it along with the end ribs. When all is done, 3 blind rivets need to be pulled for the VS-707 rear spar attachement

Tomorrow, before I start the rudder (which will be fun, I think), I will inventory the wing delivery. That ought to take most of the day. Take Care and Thanks For Reading!
