Wing rear spars and skin support channels

1/4: riveted right wing rear spar and wing skin support channel with a bit of help from a friend. Placed AN5 bolt in position before riveting to ensure the hole is fully aligned.

2/4: repeated this myself for the left wing

Reamed and cleaned the holes for the 991, 994 and 995 rivets in the wing root area which are not riveted until the ribs are installed - this is easier to do now that when the spar is on the jigs, so the rib installation should go a bit smoother. This is mainly required due to the fact that I've primed the components, so the rivet clearance is tight.
