I riveted the main spar to the CF. About one-fourth of the skin's holes required minor reaming to receive the rivets.
Afterwards, I drilled out the twelve aileron stop rivets. Only one of them was problematic, with the mandrel broken at the surface. It was impossible to get a clean drill out of it. I flipped the stops around and re-joined them.

NEXT STEPS
- Figure out what rear fuse work needs to be done and verify parts and build
- Verify work in E1. Do the parts bolted to the web need to be riveted? Check torque.
Verify E3 work. Rivet main spar in E3 (verify using 4.0x10mm alu-multi rivets).Fix aileron stops in E3- Installing missing center console rivnuts and enlarge screw holes (need to place order for #8-32 rivnuts)
- Verify E4-E9
- Install soundproofing
- Assemble/Install Finishing manual 1-4abc
- Assemble/Install Finishing manual 10, 11, 18
- At some point receive replacement parts for rear seat location modification (E16, E17, E18)
- At some point receive some emp replacement parts for continued emp work
- Prepare rear seat base assembly and assemble
- Paint firewall (still haven't figured out what paint to use)
- Assemble FFW pages 1 &2
- Partially assemble E12 & E13
- HS with VOR antenna
- Torque EL
