With the Christams holidays I have not really been able to do much work on the Great Lakes. So today I pushed on with the L/H Upper wing. Fitted the fiberglass wing tip and fitted the leading edge skin - I used solid rivets rather than blind pop rivets as I prefer them. Here is todays progress: Time to rivet on the leading edge.
	I have used Duralack between the ribs and leading edge skin to stop corrosion. One part of me is tempted to remove all the leading edges to corrosion proof. Fitting the fiberglass wing tip.
	As I had the varnish out I decide to varnish the (fuse) underside stringers. Took longer than expected.
