Brief Description: Landing Light and Leading Edge skin
|
|
I woke up at about 4:00 this morning, unable to get back to sleep, so went out to the garage to work on the wing. I decided to use flush pull rivets to install the landing light fixture, so I dimpled the skin and counter sunk the fixture. Once that was complete, I began moving inboard along the wing finishing with the riveting of the skin. According to Mitch form Cubcrafters, it is not necessary to deburr the skins and ribs after drilling, so I followed his advice. I had deburred the rest of the skins, and I think I will follow that procedure on the right wing. Two things I did learn: first, when pulling the skins tight with the straps, it's best to start at the center of rack skin, and move in an alternating manner to to edges, in the same manner in which the rivets are installed.
