Looks great, Robbie. I love your motivation!
Don't worry, you'll forget about that one rivet after a while. I think I had one somewhere... :oops:

Just about done with the left wing, and wow is it motivational to get this far!
Where you see blue painters tape is my not so subtle reminder of not to rivet there. This is from the inside edge at the rear looking out towards the wingtip, then from the opposite corner looking in.
Also one of my awesome wife pulling rivets. Gotta love it!

Looking good Robbie! I can imagine that getting the rivets in is great motivation to continue.

Reminds me of when I helped a friend when he was building a Model 12 Pitts! I prefer the metal too ;)

The left wing was completed over the Christmas break.
Installed the wingtip and lights and tested the wiring. Felt good to put it up in the cradle a great friend loaned us....One wing done....
