6.5 hrs, 218 rivets
Started riveting fairings on both wings. Got all of the skin/fairing rivets done.




Finished edge deburr on flap spars.

Officially started ailerons. Edge deburring for aileron ribs. Then clecoed the assemblies together and started match drilling. Marked counterbalance tubes for drilling.




Started assembling flat jig from 1 inch MDF. But wasn't happy with the overall consistency of the 2x4 framing. Will have a friend run them through a planer to get them all square and the same thickness.
