Brief Description: Wing top skin drilled - Rt
|
|
Secured all clamps, triple checked seam on main spar, double checked the drawings and hole spacing, visited another RV-6A project, and checked measurements again.
Started by drilling a hole on the main spar joint, re-checked fit, and drilled the second hole. After that, removed clecoes, and checked rib and spar for hole placement. Satisfied with that alignment, I re-installed the first two clecoes, secured the clamps and placed three more holes and clecoes, working from the center out and back along middle rib.
After every few holes, I pulled the aft edge of the skin away from the ribs and checked progress. Had already drawn centerlines on the ribs and was happy with placement and progress of lines.
After a substantial portion was drilled and clecoed, I started removing every other cleco from the center to work outward. Scrounged all the silver clecoes I could find from other 'tasks' until I started having to remove more in the middle. Double-checked intersection of supports and hole progress - happy with skin tension and worked all the way aft to the rear spar, Worked outward from there while progressing aft on aft portion of ribs.
