Finished Section 15

After the cold morning had been warmed up by a sun shining from a beautiful blue sky, I set up the priming job. 12 nose ribs had to get shot and I knew with those low temperatures the drying process would take much longer than usual. Despite the wait the job was done within 2.5 hours and the ribs were put in the sun for deeper drying.


After about 2 hours of "tanning" in the sun I riveted the ribs to the wing. I also riveted the stub spar onto the nose ribs, so that the wing is practically ready for the skins - if only they were ready.



So now I'll have to get the bottom skins ready. More scrubbing and priming ahead!
But Section 15 is done. Overall time for this one was 50 hours.
