Finishing up the top left wing skins and starting the left aileron

I managed to get my dad over to help squeeze the last few rivets that I just couldn’t reach myself.  I also took advantage of him being around to move the wing assembly to the back porch.  We were going to move the right wing back into the garage so I could rivet the rest of the top skin to it, but the fuel tank and time got in the way (but that’s another story).  So, instead, I started on the ailerons.  The first page goes pretty quickly.  Looks like there is some tricky riveting ahead, though.
