| Subject: | Riveting wing skeleton |
I would just like some confirmation as to when to rivet the wing skeleton t
ogether.
Currently=2C I have the right wing skeleton 99% done=2C and am ready to mov
e onto the skins. I believe I am able to rivet the skeleton together at th
is point=2C and this would be my preference=2C because I believe the rivets
hold stronger than clecos. However=2C is there anything to watch out for
if I did this? Anything that would become a problem in the future while do
ing the wing skins if the skeleton is riveted together?
I have gotten by yearly "kick in the butt" to get going on my airplane agai
n. Seems that always happens after AirVenture :)

Ryan, it's been a couple of years for me but I think you are right about ri
veting your wing skeleton before heading on to the skins.- I don't remebe
r any gotchas doing it that way.

Good job, Ryan. Just going from memory here, but I think you have to
rivet the wing skeleton together before you lay out and mark the skins.
Rivet the skeleton, then put on the bottom skin, then the tank or
tanks, then the requisit wiring and pitot tube hardware with slat and
flaperon hangers, then lastly the trailing edge skins, leading edge,
then the top wing skins. Something like that, anyway.
If you try to rivet the skeleton while fighting the wing skins you will
likely have a heck of a time riveting in those small spaces.

I just completed my right wing. The only parts you need to worry about not attaching
permanently to the wing skeleton are the front strut attach point and
the tie down ring. It just makes it a little easier when you are strapping on
the leading edge skin.

My fuel tanks, main and aux on each wing, had a lip where the welding was
done. It was a pain to remove and install them.
You can rivet the entire skeleton, but I left clecos in the rear channels
behind the tank and the channels that are right behind
the tank/tanks. Just made things easier.
