Brief Description: Completed right flaperon, nearly completed right w
|
|
Completed match-hole drilling of right flaperon counterweight. On the left flaperon, the match hole drilling was a might sloppy, with the aluminum skin holes elongating a bit. The match hole drilled with a #30 drill just didn't stay in place. On the right flaperon, I began the the drilling first by making the best center-ed center punching I could, followed by pilot drilling with eitther a #50 or #40 drill, and then final drilling to the deisred sise with the #30 drill. The result was markedly cleaner than that of the left flaperon.
Clecoed and macth hole drilled the remaining inboard nose skins to the nose ribs and then completed riveting the nose skins.
Screwed the rod end bearings in, but still waiting shipment of the specifed Loctite 243.
With the receipt of the missing wing tip from Vans, I restarted work on the right wingtip. Completed installation of the landing light, installing the lens in the easy way, while I still had access to the inside from the open wightip.
Completed riveting the remaining wigntip skins, with the exception of a few rivets that need better persuasion--will wait until I'm in a better mood. Also need to complete trimming an sanding the fiberglass for the right position light..
Ordered fiberglass materials (resen, catalyst, fabric, peal ply, mcro, and fock) from Aircraft Spruce so that I can complete the strobe light installation
