Brief Description:  Right Leading Edge Debur, Sand, Paint

Performed final prep on the leading edge skin for attachment to the bottom side of the wing. I had started deburring yesterday with the outside of the skin, so today I flipped the skin over to debur the inside surfaces. I also deburred all the edges and sanded them smooth and sanded all the surfaces to be painted with corrosion control paint. I painted all the mating surfaces and reattached the skin after everything dried.

I also decided to rivet the flap while I had the wing upside down. I deburred, filed, sanded, and painted the hinge. I also pulled out the hinge pin as a test to see how easy it would be to get back in as I would prefer to store the wing with the flap removed. The pin came out fine, but I had a heck of a time attempting to get the pin back in. I ceased work and went looking on the web for a solution which I will try tomorrow: parafin wax on the pin, start it into the hinge, then chuck the other end into an electric drill and "screw" it back into place. Hopefully this will work.
