2.3 hrs, 114 rivets
Finished riveting right flap bottom skin/LE skin/spar.
Riveted bottom skin to spars.



Now it's time for the trailing edges. Need to get the left fuel tank cleaned and ready to go for resealing. After that, I'll mix up a batch of proseal, and get all three projects in progress (both flap trailing edges, and the left tank.

Got to fly yesterday. 1 hr, and 1 landing in a Piper Dakota. It's a difficult transition, the Dakota is faster and heavier than anything I've flown, and it takes a while to adjust the traffic pattern to account for it.
