Brief Description:  Bottom Nose Skin Updrill

Began by flipping the wing back over onto its top. The two locking-pulley system makes it a very controlled job that can be handled solo. From start to finish, it takes about 15 minutes to complete the flip.

After re-leveling the wing, I updrilled the nose skin to final rivet sizes (A4 into the nose ribs ad A5 into the main spar). I will probably rivet the nose skin to the bottom while I have it flipped over this time after I clean up and rivet the nose ribs into place.

Also test fit the wing tip to see how it will fit. Will probably drill out the bottom side while I have the wing inverted. Consideredt attaching the nav/strobe light, but need to pick up three 3-32 countersunk machine screws that weren't included with the kit.
