Need to order the Duckworks light install brackets. Since work is on hold for the left wing, began edge deburring right leading edge and tank skins.
Then Jim Darrah came over to spend the afternoon with me. We started by trimming the right leading edge rib #3 to clear rivets on the main spar. Then clecoed the right leading edge together. It turned out much nicer than the left leading edge. As many other builders have noted, the second side will be much better than the first. This makes me feel better, because all those other planes fly perfectly well.

Next we clecoed main ribs to right spar, and then attached the rear spar.
The frame was placed on the wing stand and leveled. A first measure for twist showed it to be perfect, less than a 64th.
We did the prelim drill of the wing walk doubler to inboard skin, and then clecoed the doubler and inboard skin to frame. Called it quits after that and had a nice dinner, complements to Lynne.
