Brief Description:  Finished right and left ASTs

Spent almost all of Saturday afternoon preping, priming and assembling the left and right ASTs (anti servo tabs). While I removed some of the plastic on pieces last night and began to debur them, most of the work today was deburring, drilling and priming.

Hillary was a big help pulling rivets and I think she really likes the pneumatic pulling tool as much as Spencer seems to by now. With her pulling rivets on one tab I would move to the alternate and remove clecos etc... so we hovered back and forth between benches. Definitely saves time even accounting for the learning curve for her.

Only minor issue was the hole drilling of the hinge halves. Used the drill guides, but they still seemed to move around a little bit during actual drilling, especially on each end. As a result when I attached hinges to the tabs themselves that had pre-drilled holes, not all of them lined up enough to insert the pull rivets without running a #30 drill into some of the holes to make the holes align better. When I attached the other halves of each hinge, they fit very good together, so I am not concerned overall. Not a big issue, but something to be aware of when I use the drill guild again down the road.
