Brief Description:  Pitot controller plate / Bottom Skin

I believe the pitot controller will be somewhat of a challenge to change out should it ever need to be so I decided to mount it on a plate... and then mount the plate on a rib rather then just mounting the printed circuit board controller on a rib directly. I made a plate this morning and alumipreped and alodined it and all the other pitot parts. After that I started to fit the bottom skin starting with the inboard .032 skin. I spent the rest of the day match drilling the skin to rib and skin to spar holes. Once done I rolled the leading edge a bit for a better final fit and scotchbrited the inside. I modified the skin overlap by sanding it with a belt sander, removing a little material so that it will lay better. The best place to store the skins was on the wing, so I set them in place. I plan to dimple the skins and ribs tomorrow and paint the parts.
