It cooled down this evening thanks to the Delta breeze so I was able to spend time in the airplane factory to attach the forward skin to the v-stab. Here's the "before" picture. If you click on it you can expand the picture to see the small flush rivets for the nut plates and the dimples for the screws so that they're flush with the skin. The screws go into nut plates behind the skin.
And here's the "after", fingerprints and all. Once the top screws were in, the forward skin just kind of wrapped itself into place. Once tightened down, the screws are nice and flush with the skin.
Also drilled out and replaced a couple of the rivets that didn't go in so well on Sunday.
