Brief Description: Shop prep and leading edge work
It's been way too long since I've been able to work on the airplane. Cold weather set in here in early January, and the temps in the workshop have routinely been around freezing...too cold for me! Today I accepted delivery of the fuselage kit. I spent about an hour getting my workspace organized, and I'll try to get the right wing out of the stand in the next two weeks so I have the space to inventory the fuselage parts.After getting organized, I turned my attention back to the wing leading edge. I dimpled all of the ribs, then drilled out the W-423 splice plate for the plate nuts and rivets. After priming, I riveted the plate nuts on, then started deburring and dimpling the leading edge skin. By the end of the work session, I had all of the skin deburred and dimpled with the exception of the inner rivet holes--I'll save that for the next session.
