Brief Description: Left wing leading edge part #4
|

|
I'm still waiting for my order of Proseal and other items from Van's, so, tonight, I removed the left wing leading edge from the wing.
I removed all the ribs after marking their position within the leading edge.
Dimpled all of the holes to #40 that were previously final drilled and deburred.
Also dimpled the access plate for the stall warning system and also the mounting holes for the stall warning bracket.
Last week, I received my order from Aircraftspruce. I ordered a tube bender, some 3/8 5052 aluminum pipe for the return lines in the tanks, along with some fittings, and also a pitot tube cover.
I'm hoping to get my order from Van's by the end of the week so I can finish off the right tank. In the mean time, I'll dimple the left wing leading edge ribs tomorrow, scotchbrite, clean, then prime the skin and ribs.
