Just a quick 40-ish minutes working tonight. Nothing major but progress nonetheless. I primed the countersinks for the rivets that attach the nutplates to the spars. I just sprayed some self-etching primer into a Pringles lid and then dipped a Q-tip in it and used that to apply the primer to the countersinks. Here they are primed.
Then I clecoed the nutplates to the spar. I only got half of one wing done as this takes a while and I can't flip it over and do the other side due to the clecos. I'll set the rivets in the empty holes next, remove the clecos and set the other rivets, then flip the spar and do the same process on the other side, then do both of those steps on the other spar. Lots of little dextrous work to do and my fingers weren't working particularly well in the cold tonight.
