Brief Description: Ruined lower skin, went back to tank parts
|
|
Well, snuck out to the shop for an hour tonight, and took a big step in the wrong direction. When I was drilling the bottom row of holes, (@ rear spar) I made a big stupid mistake. I was using a drill template that I had made, and used with much success over the rest of the skins,Therefore, I could not see what was behind the template, and drilled a hole right next to where another hole already existed. STUPID. Well, look at the bright side.... I get to call TW metals here in Wichita and order a new sheet of .025
After that snafu, I switched gears, and went back to working on the left tank. I located and drilled the inboard and outboard rib to the tank baffle, and marked the locations for the 3 inner ribs.

Ready to drill outboard and bottom rows.

DOH. I ruined a skin. Not a happy camper.

|
Tip ribs are clecoed on, inner ribs help in place for show.
