I had to call my dad to come over for a quick visit tonight to correct how I put the wings in the cradle. Would've made sense when I was putting the cradle together to do this, but I didn't think about it. Anyway, I switched the cradles to I have access to the bottom of the wings now.
Then I started riveting the aileron brackets to the rear spar. All turned out well, but it was a rough night of riveting. I had to drill out several rivets that just wouldn't sit right, and one of them had to be drilled to a -5. Oh well, it won't be seen, and they all look good now.
With those done, I de-blue'd and edge deburred the flap and aileron braces, then cleco'd them in to place to be drilled to the rear spar.
