25 Nov 2009 :I flipped over the wing to align the lower leading edge to the rivet line already drawn on the lower spar.
Unfortunately, the inboard and centre leading edge's rivet holes did not quite align properly. I gave up at this
point. Suspect drilling bits need to be cleaned off underneath the leading edge and more adjustment to ensure proper alignment before drilling next time. On this trip back to KL, the battery inside my digital leveler was flat so one day was wasted as i called it a day earlier since no alignment means no drilling.

Next, the centre leading edge was drilled.

First of all, my deepest apology for not updating and attending to my project for sometime.
Recent purchase of a house in Nelson, New Zealand in July 2009 and final settlement in
September really kept me really busy. Anyway, here on 25 nov 2009, i continued to drill
the outboard leading edge to the forward spar of this starboard wing.
