Brief Description:  Boatloads of progress on HS skins today - with Bob

Got a ton of work done tonight!! My build buddy, who goes by the name of "Skyking" Bob was in town for work and graciously volunteered to come by the shop and help out. For those that do not know Skyking, he is also an RV-8 builder - he is building a quick built kit, but we both started building on the same day.

First off, we did a little fix up on the multi-drilled-out rivets on the front spar, yea, both of them. We used some AD470-5's to fix to errors. It worked really well. Then we were able to rivet the right skin to the front spar assembly and then we deburred, dimpled and primed the left skin. We started riveting the left skin and both ran out of mental "gas". Seven hours is a long time, but building airplane parts, and building with Bob (a comedian at heart) went by like an hour of work! Man that was a good productive day! Thanks BOB!
