Riveted the W-907D doubler plate to the spar

This was a little spooky. The plans have (some) definite instructions as to which some of the rivets should not be put in yet. However, some of the rivet holes are hard to determined whether they should have rivets now. I went back to the instruction book and read "Some rivets in the rear spar reinforcements also attach ribs, aileron brackets, aileron gap fairings and the flap gap fairings". So I had to go to some other plan pages to see which other parts will get riveted on later. This was a little tough because the plans were a little vague on the attachment of these parts. I determine (as best as I could) that I could only put in the outer rivets at this time.
