Meghan and Dad came down to help out so the first thing on my agenda was to reassemble the Rear Spar Assembly.  Once that was complete we started laying the J-Stiffeners into the cutouts in the wing ribs and then began clecoing the Wing Walk Doublers (W-1027A & B), the Top Inboard Wing Skin (W-1002), and the Top Outboard Wing Skin (W-1003) to the Main Spar, Rear Spar, and Wing Ribs.  Next Dad began final-drilling #40 all the holes common to the Top Wing Skins, the Spars, J-Stiffeners, Wing Walk Doublers, and Ribs.

      

    

    

    

While he worked on that I helped Meghan start identifying and assembling the Ailerons.  She started by clecoing the Nose Ribs (A-1004), Inboard Nose Ribs (A-1015), Doublers (A-1008), and the Spacers (A-1014) to the Spar (A-1003).  Next, she final-drilled #30 all the holes specified on the drawing for the Nose Ribs and the Doublers.  Then she laid the Counterbalance (A-1009) into the Nose Skin (A-1001A) and we began clecoing the Nose Skin to the Nose Ribs and the Spar.

    

    

    

    

Once everybody else had had enough, I went ahead and final-drilled the remaining #40 holes and the #19 screw holes for the nutplates that will be installed along the inboard edge of the Top Inboard Wing Skins (W-1002).  Then I went back to the ailerons and match-drilled #40 into the Counterbalance (A-1009) along the leading edge of the Nose Skin (A-1001A).  Finally I went back though and final-drilled #30 the same holes and called it a day.
