Brief Description:  Top Skins & Pitot

Prepped the top skins with rivets and rivet tape to backrivet once I get some help then filled the down time by cutting the pitot tube mount in the bottom skin. The template worked well, just had to slowly and carefully remove little by little until the teardrop shape was correct (dremel at first then round file worked well for the last bit). I then drilled and countersunk the holed to attach the pitot tube to the mast which took quite a bit of measuring and luck to match the holes correctly. What helped was to undersize the hole first, determine which way I needed to shift the hole slightly to line up on the center, then final drill #27 while applying pressure in the direction the hole needed to move. Not perfect, but close enough to attach the pitot tube properly to the mast.
