Brief Description:  Drilling the Skins

Nothing too exciting today. Went to Lowes and bought the wood and carpet needed to make the leading edge and tank stand. Shouldn't be too hard. Still need to buy a fresh 2x4 though. Will do so on the way in tomorrow.

Otherwise, spent most of the day just drilling and cleco'ing wing skins. Starting on the bottom panels now. Also drew lines on the upper-skins showing where the tiedown is. Now that I think about it, maybe they meant to do so on the underside?? Hmmm.

Plan to return tomorrow and continue. Will probably cut out the leading edge stand as well. Nothing too intense at this point. Just time consuming necessary stuff. Looking ahead, I need to start thinking about the plumbing kit for the pitot-static and AOA hardware.
