Brief Description:  LEFT Wing - upper & lower aft skins

I finished up-drilling all the holes in the upper aft skin, except at the rear spar and the main spar. I need to wait to updrill the rear spar until after I align and pilot drill for the hinge. And I need to wait to updrill the holes at the main spar, until after I align and pilot drill the forward (nose) wing skin.

With the assistance of my lovely wife, Gail, we flipped the wing over so I could begin to work on the lower aft wing skin. The process is the same as for the upper skin, including needing to level across the spars.

Since the clecos are still in place underneath the wing, the shims had to be high enough to keep teh clecos from touching the work table.

To keep everything from moving I clamped down the spar at both ends (see photos).
