Brief Description:  Drill hoes in bottom skin to bottom inbd wing ribs

Todays task was to match drill the 11 holes in ech inbd wing rib to the bottom fuselabe skins.
A note here: It would have been a good idea to have drilled the wing rib holes to at least #40 PRIOR to fitting the wing! I dont know why I didnt do it. All I did was mark the hole location with lines as per plans. I had purchase a hole finder from Avery in both #40 and # 30 but they wont work as designed if the hole your trying to slip into isnt quite big enough-right??
Well, The hole finder still worked well enough even though it didnt slip all the way in. I could still line it up on the hole adn then drill them. I then clecoed every other hole and drilled all up to #30 as per plans. It all worked out just fine.
