Brief Description:  Bottom Wing Skin.

We had a number of visitors yesterday which made the turning of the wing very easy.
I have known for quite some time that the inboard bottom skin was cut incorrectly at the factory.
The skin has been cut along the hole line so I have many half holes.
After I had noticed the error I spoke to the factory and the suggestion was to cut the skin back so the skin did not over lap the fusalage.
It is not structural or aerodynamic and the wing fairing will cover the gap as it does on the top of the wing.
I taped the skin and clamped a right-angle straight edge on the skin to guide the dremel cutting wheel.
KSC held the vacuum cleaner nozzle close to the cutting wheel to catch the filings and helping to reduce heat.
It all worked very well, no damage to the paint and I have a straight clean edge.
