Brief Description:  Drilled top Skin to D-Spar leading edge

1. Set up and drilled the top skin leading edge to the D-Spar. Clecoed down. Checked wing twist a couple of times, all dead on---no twist.

2. After drilling all the holes in skin and D-Spar I removed all the Clecoes in the spar and the first four rows on the ribs so I could dimple the skin and countersink the spar.

3. I ran a test with my $15 dimple dies with a nail through the dies that pulls with blind rivet pullers. The do not do a very good job as you can see in picture #3. I decided to order some traditional dies and a rivet squeezer and wait on these tools before going forward. Just another week and another hundred dollars!

4. It was hard to find 120 degree dies but Cleveland Tools has them for $39.00 and Spruce has a set of squeezers for $79.00. Looks like my $100 estimate was a little short.
