Completed fitting of the right wing, lift strut truss is final assembled and torqued in place. Found 2 bushings were reversed on hinges and fixed those. Flubbed one hinge by forgetting the right angle support bracket so had to drill out 2 rivets to fix. Doing small amounts of work with a large gap in the middle results in more errors, luckily these were trivial to fix.
many stainless steel rivets coming up, need to dip prime them first so enough for today.

My first very visible permanently painted part… assuming it doesn’t get all scratched after this.](https://d3gxvd7rqm4plm.cloudfront.net/john-s/images/6179/entry-mon-jan-06-2025/ef51fcc2151046e19a5bb96be7ccf0e6_sm.jpg)
