Hi All,
Working through my wings, I have 2 ribs that will need to be replaced due to LCP issues (inboard #1 and #3) I am now at the stage where I would need to attach the rear spar to the ribs, but I dont think I will be able to replace rib #3 with the spar in place. My question is, can I skip riveting the rear spar, and leave it clecoed in place while I do the top skins?
Also, I have already completed my leading edges, and the next step after top skins will be attaching the leading edges. It seems like it would be easier to do this now before the top skins are in place, since I could just use a squeezer for all of the skin rivets. Is there any reason not to do this?
