"Yet once again I'm behind in logging activity. My family was in town this week for Thanks Giving. As usual, I didn't get as much plane work done as I would have liked but nonetheless, It was awesome having my Dad lending a helping hand this week! Poor guy, I think he got a little discouraged everytime I gave him another step that needed to be completed before we could move forward. Yep. match-drilling, deburring, dimpling & priming prep take a long time. I guess I'm used to the whole process & enjoy it to the point where I forget how much work is involved & take one step at a time while giving each individual part a lot of TLC. I'm missing a ton of pictures from this week due to a memory card breaking inside my camera. I ended up buying a new camera.
Laundry list of taskes completed throughout the week: - Right wing-walk doubler done. - All main wing skins completely match drilled to the skeleton (Roger was the master here). - Edge & hole deburred outboard bottom wing skins... ""Deviened"", Dimpled and scotch-brited inter skin surface. (i still have a little work to do on the left skin). - Stall warner system prepped and awaiting primer. - Left leading edge built up, modified for stall warner assembly, mounted on wing skeleton & tank reinforcement strip mounted & matchdrilled (what a pain). - Right leading edge built up but ran out of clecos even though I bummed a bucket full from Bill. I ended up ordering an additional 250 from ATS inorder to finish the right leading edge & tanks. - STARTED on the tanks... Cut all of the stiffeners and started deburring / contouring all the stiffeners. - Ordered a fly-cutter and a Non-drilled tank access plate cover for the right tank with the planned flop tube assembly."
