Brief Description: Getting right tank ready to assemble (again)
|
|
I have been hitting the project a few licks when a little time has been available the last couple of weeks. I clecoed the ribs and new skin together, along with the baffle, and checked the fit on the wing, and it was just right. So, I continued by drilling out all the rivet holes and the #8 screw holes that attach to the spar and the splice plate where the tank meets the outer half of the wing leading edge. A friend from Church, who is a pilot working in Nigeria for several weeks, then home for a few weeks, came over with his son to check out the project. While they were here, we machine countersunk a few of the skin to baffle holes, very carefully and constantly checking the locknut on the microstop countersink. Don't want to buy a fourth skin!
