The Saga continues, When dissassembling, I noticed that the outboard wing skin W1003 had a serious dent in it. When ABF deliveed the kit they put a fork from a forklift through the bottom of the crate and it damaged one of the onboard skins W1002, I filed a claim w/ ABF (they are denying, it... long story, but i'm not doing any more bsuiness w/ them). It turns out that it wasn'tonly the W1002, but BOTH of the W1003's as well, I don't know how I missed seeing them earlier, the impressions from the fork morror those on the inboard skin. Anyway, I played around with 'pushing the dent out or at least pushing it inward so as it could be filled with body filler @ paint time. This whole thing bummed me out, and I took a day, and then decided to reorder new skins from Van's (I'll deal w/ ABF seperately). Mean while, I did a little work on the inboard skin for the Right wing, countersunk all of the holes, dimpled the rest, deburred all holes in the inboard skin and the wing walk doublers, dimpled the J channel stiffeners. The new skins arrived late this afternoon, and I put the 'scarf' edge in boothe the inboard and outboard overlap joint, and then Drilled (actually I reamed) the new skin, and deburred all of the holes. Tomorrow dimple the outboard skin, the read spar, and ribs, then prime.
