Brief Description:  Left wing top skin preparation.

I used a couple of files and a Scotch Bright wheel mounted in a Die Grinder to create the scarf joint at the union of the two top wing skins. They turned out well and makes for a smooth transition from the aft edge of the fuel tank and the two top skins. Then I spent the rest of the time removing the vinyl along the rivet lines on both sides of the top wing skins.
