July 21, 2008 ...  When I was drilling the forward holes on the upper and lower wing skins, I found that two of the holes on the top, and one hole on the bottom, landed directly over the forward root rib bracket. 

I was concerned that the shop end of the rivet would not have enough room to expand outward when the mandrel was pulled.

 

So with great effort I removed the forward root rib. Then I took my pneumatic grinder and carefully cut away the interference points on the root rib brackets The photos show the finished product. I cleaned up the edges with some sandpaper and a Scotchbrite pad.  This modification should not effect the strength of the bracket and gives me a great measure of "peace of mind."

 

After making the modifications to the Root Rib bracket, I re-assembled the Root Rib and torqued the bolts.
with the remaining time in my shop today, I worked on the right aileron; locating the rivet holes and making the cutouts for the aileron control bracket and the counterweight assembly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

July 27, 2008 ...  With a couple hours of "wing time" today, I  was able to make a little more progress on the right aileron. The cutout for the aileron counter-balance is complete, and the aileron is completely pre-drilled and debvurred.

July 29, 2008 ...  With only a couple more hours in the shop today, I positioned the right aileron ribs and counter-balance, pre-drilled and deburred the ribs, and dimpled the aileron skin.
