2.1 hrs
Deburred the right bottom inboard wing skin, and peeled the plastic from the inside. Now it gets put up for a while. Still need to bevel the overlapping leading edge of these skins.
Then fit and clecoed the leading edge assembly to the right wing frame. It fit fairly well, getting a bit tough to get the outboard holes to line up on the spar. But it went on, and matches the leading edge skin pretty darned good.

Next came the inboard leading edge rib and tank attach strip fitting. This seemed easier on the left wing, but it went in OK. I think I did a better job of pre-bending the strip to shape before fitting.
