Brief Description:  Mount and Drill wing skins

Started today where I left off yesterday by drilling the wing skins. Photo #1 shows the right wing with the first of two top skins cleco'd in place. Photo #2 shows both skins cleco'd in place. Then everyone of those holes were drilled, cleco's moved and then those holes drilled, I must have drilled a thousand holes today and moved a million clecos. My hands are sore, but the job is done. Photo #3 shows the bottom of the right wing with both skins cleco'd in place. After all the holes were drilled, the plans call for removing the bottom skins and leaving the top skins in place. Unfortunately, I had mounted the wings with the bottoms of both in the center of the jig making it difficult to work on, so I took some time and removed both wings from the jig and swapped them so that the bottom of both wings were on the outside so I can easily work on them.
