Started riveting the skin on HS#2 - 4 hours

Took a bit of a slow day today. I cleco'd the skins to the HS-707, HS-708 and HS-706 ribs. I then proceeded to rivet the skin to HS-707 both L and R sides.

I then deviated from the plans slightly as I riveted the HS-706 to the front spar assembly. The plans have to do this step after the skins are riveted and the first go around was really tough for my to get a good bucked rivet in that tight space. I then set the assembly into the skins and re-cleco'd everything.
 
Began the long, but quite enjoyable task to rivet the skins on. Managed to get a ways through before I called it a day.
