Hello,
I am ready to rivet the wing skins on.
I am somewhat unclear on which direction to rivet in.
I see it says start with the middle rib, then I guess you
go one rib at a time (while also doing the spar rivets) left
and right until they are all done (except for the overlap).
But do I start in the middle of the rib and work towards the
leading edge, then go back and work the rib towards the trailing
edge? Or, doesn't matter?

Glen,
I started at the forward end of the rib and worked aft on each rib and then
riveted inboard or outboard on the main spar as I finished a rib. I had a
partner helping so I saved the rear spar rivets for when I had to work
alone. Turned out nicely.

Start at the rear spar in the middle and go out and down so that you are
riveting in a "V" pattern toward the main spar. This will allow you to
reach all the rivets by lifting the main spar edge and getting your arm
and bucking bar into the wing. You will finish up through the lightening
holes on each end of the skin and through the inspection holes.
The wing walk area is probably the hardest since there are so many ribs in
such a small space..
Wear a long sleeve shirt to protect your arms.

I did mine starting at the rear area and worked forward and side to side.
Take your time to notice what pattern you may need in certain areas in terms
of access to the rivets. Another thing that worked well for me, I helped a
friend do his wings per Van's instructions on a flat table, then did mine.
My wings were still hanging on the stands and I did mine that way. We both
agreed hands down it was easier standing and reaching down into the wing to
buck, than on a table. Just my .02. Glenn in Arizona 90623 fuselage.

PS, Glenn, forgot to mention this in the 1st reply, make sure you back rivet
the top skins on! It is easy to do and the results are beautiful! Glenn in
Arizona.

Were you able to rivet in the J-stringers by yourself?
Thanks!

Mike,
I was able to reach everything that I needed to reach that way. Put it in
the notch in the rib and cleco it in the middle. Rivet the middle and work
out as you do the skin and ribs. It is just another horizontal rib.
I did both of my wings on the table and did not have any trouble with
them. When finished, I had 1/64th inch twist in the wing. I am going
from memory since my wings were done over two years ago. Don't remember
any issues going by what Van's said to do on them. The plans have changed
a bit since then.
Just make sure that you have done everything that you want to do inside
the wing before you close it up. I would install a empty conduit down the
wing or at least some pull strings through a bunch of grommets for that
additional wire that you will need later.
Regards,
Larry Perryman
