Brief Description:  More work on the aft wing spar.

I countersunk the outboard aft spar doubler plates, then used my shiny new squeezer to dimple the top flange of the aft spar in the vicinity of the doubler fork. This was suggested in the plans because it will be very difficult to perform this task once the fork is riveted in place. I decided to countersink the most outboard hole because I was concerned dimpling this relatively thick metal may deform the end. Next up is to prep and prime all the aft spar components.
