    I may have been a bit optimistic about completing both wings by Monday. I'll try your version of rivet removal on the next wing. I was stuck last time, my wife wasn't around to help me move the wing.

    Mike, the 1x1 angle on the rear spar will really add strength. Your skills continue to amaze me.

    Wing update, I was very, very optimistic on my timeline, but it is going well.

    Mike, thanks for telling me about the new drill, buddy ;-) I'm not going to get rid of my Milwaukee, but didn't I mention something in the past about working with stone age tools?

    Still working on the first wing. I just set the line for the L angles in the top skin and will drill in the morning, then it's time to reattach the nose skin and I'm mostly done. The best part is I get to do it all over again ..... you know the drill, no, not the Craftsman.

    How's it going?
