Brief Description: Finished riveting lower outboard LH wing skin, fla
|
|
Today was a good one. Kurt came by to help me finish the LH wing lower outboard skin. Was sure great to finish that. The bruises and scratches on my arm will go away eventually. :) I spent most of the day shoulder deep in lightening holes bucking rivets, but that's ok. After finishing the skin, Kurt left, and I squeezed the row of rivets on the trailing edge that catch the skin, flap brace, and hinge. I squeezed them by hand to avoid damaging the soft hinge. Next, I temp mounted the flap and aileron. I am going to have to roll the leading edge of the flap a little tighter, as it isn't retracting to "zero".
After all of this, I should have worked on wingtips (80 or so nutplates), but could not resist the temptation to cut some of the lumber I bought for the fuselage jig. By the end of the night, I had most of the pieces I would need cut to size.
