Dad sorted the DuckWorks nutplates and that is another bit ticked off.
Continuing with the wing skin - things got progressively easier as we moved outboard. The system that worked for us was inboard midway to aft edge, aft edge then forward from the mid point to the spar, outboard to the next rib. Repeat. I did chop and change the method of getting the bucking bar in quite a bit, but none of the options were comfortable or easy.
The completed skin - the (right) wing is starting to get close to being finished. Major items left - the fuel attach and vent line needs to be sorted, the trailing edge of the wing tips shortened and tip light plexi drilled.
