The point of no return

According to the assembly instructions, this is the "point of no return" as things start going together in final assembly.  We first installed some plate nuts so that we can install the landing light into the wing leading edge.  After that we reassembled the leading edge and began riveting it together.  Finally we installed the plate nuts that will be used to connect the fuel tank to the leading edge.  It was nice to start putting the wing together.

The reason for the title of this entry (this is where parts of the wing start going together permanently)
