Brief Description: Prepare top skins for left wing
After getting the tank leak test going, I turned my attention to preparing the top skins for installation. This included primarily of deburring and dimpling. I still need to dress the raw edges, round the corners, bevel the overlapping edge, and scarf the forward corner that butts up to the tank.
It seems I keep running into new issues while reading the various builder sites. The latest was a discussion on wing twist. To be honest, I hadn't considered the possibility of twist in my pre-punched wing kit. So, I decided to recheck the level on my main spar and then drop a couple plumb lines from each end of the wing as it sits in the jig. Thankfully, the measurements taken matched at both the root and wing tip. I plan to recheck as the leading edge assembly and top skins are riveted in place though I am not sure how a pre-punched assembly could be "adjusted" to eliminate any twist found. Hope it remains straight!
The rest of my evening was spent cleaning a bunch of clecos used earlier in tank construction. The clecos had been soaking in a tub of MEK since they were used in construction of the left tank.
