Brief Description:  Right wing ready for close; AOA line for left wing

Cleaned the right wing bottom skins inner sides with MEK. Adhesive from blue plastic didn't come off cleanly when I took it off, a long time ago. Applied a coat of Boeshield to the inside of the skins, then clecoed to the wing. Ready for close!

On left wing, made a fixture to drill #30 holes in same spot from the inboard ribs out to the bay where the pitot tube will go. Enlarged the holes with the unibit to 7/16". Used a variety of tricks and shaft extensions to get the job done, especially on the close-spaced ribs in the wing walk area.

The 1/4 soft Al pitot line to the Vans plans position is two short. Need two new 10' sections of tube for pitot/AOA. I have enough rubber grommets for the new holes, but the Nylon 6/6 Heyco snap bushings make it so much easier to insert the Al tubing. The bushings are a few cents ea., but I can't think of something else I need to make shipping 13 bushings cost 10x the bushings themselves at the moment!
