Brief Description: Masking and prep of left wing for paint, right win
With the left wing expected to go to paint on Monday I spent some time as requested (since our painter does not mask) masking up the acces holes, plugging the screw and open holes and securing the wing for transport and prepping for paint. I became quite concerned at just what exactly our painter is able to do and paid some more attention to the filled patches, scratches and general condition and preparation of the wing surfaces whuich I opreviously believed were prepped to a satisfactory level for a paintshop to finish.
Also tied up and fastened all the loose and moving items and wiring in the open access hole in the left wing for transp[ort and to be secure during the paint process - already there is a ding in the leading edge from something loose inside the wing so I am trying to avoid further damage to the wing structures internally and to the installed components at the piot union.
Also drilled out some of the last rivets on the right wing skin, most had been drilled some time ago as described due to bad rivet work before getting the swivel head attachment and having bad reach.
