Brief Description: Removed wings from the fuselage

Checked the LH tank and it is now also officially leak free. Drained the fuel into my car and removed the wings from the fuselage. Removed the flap actuator and control column and drilled holes in the mid side skins for the wing conduit. Deburred all the rivet and screw holes associated with the wing root and flap fairings. Rolled the edges of the fuselage bottom skins and dimpled the holes for #8 screws.
