Brief Description:  Added nutplates to wing skin access hole.

I realized that I needed to add nutplates to the bottom outboard wing skins' bellcrank access holes before riveting them to the wings. It could be done once they were riveted but it was much easier to do it now. I drilled out the holes, deburred, and then dimpled them. I dimpled the 1100-8 nutplates using my hand crimper with the dies that I had ground down to allow clearance of the nutplate screw dome. I used the pneumatic squeezer to rivet the nutplates to the skins. I also drilled, deburred, and dimpled the hole cover plates.

The right wing outboard bottom wing was scuffed, deburred, and cleaned along with the cover plates. They were all primed in the backyard paint booth (cardboard and grass setup).
