Short Description: Wing skinning top aft skin
|
I finished skinning and clecoing the top aft wing skin, but I ran into a problem. Somehow, one of the outboard aft ribs was slightly out of alignment with the rest of the ribs. This created a slight valley in the top surface of the wing skin when the skin was clecoed to that particular rib. This will have the opposite effect on the bottom side of the wing when I start attaching that skin. It will cause a slight hump to appear. The only solution was to remove the offending rib and replace it with a new one. I have ordered the replacement rib from Sonex.
I drilled the holes for the support brackets that reinforce the attachments for the aileron control horn. I also double checked the wing squareness and twist to make sure all is well for when I attach the bottom aft skin.
