Bottom Wing Skins (Left) 20-4-4, 20-4-6
To finish out the left wing before moving it to the wing cradle, I attached the flap gap fairing that I had previously prepared. These rivets were mostly squeezed with the exception of one bucked rivet and an MSP-42 rivet in the same locations as on the right wing.
Unfortunately, I could not attach the aileron gap fairing as I had previously damaged it and will be getting a replacement.

With the flap gap fairing riveted on, I moved the left wing assembly into the wing cradle to make space for working on other build sections.

While the wing structures are mostly complete, there is a lot of work still to be done on the inside for wiring, trim and autopilot servos, pitot tube, and aileron actuation |
