Brief Description:  Wing details

Deburred LH wing parts - the wide portion of the root doubler, the forward ribs. Drilled forward ribs for a wiring conduit. Not sure if I'll have any tip strobes or anything initially, but it's a lot easier to put in a little plastic tube now than to try to string some wires later. Used the dimpling pliers from Avery (a vise-grip with a dimple die welded on) to dimple the ribs. This went very quickly and easily. I ground off part of the female die to allow it to get closer to the bend. I thought some of the rivet holes would be difficult to dimple because there isn't much space between the hole and the bend (all per print, but some were a little off the line), but the ground-down die worked fine. Just passed 700 hours logged on the project.
