Today all I accomplished was to cleco on the right bottom skin. This did go a little easier than the left side. I tried a technique suggested to me by someone on VAF. You start at the main spar and cleco from mid-panel out to each end about a rib and a half. Then start up the middle rib of the panel, when you are near the rear spar work up the ribs on either side of the middle. Keep working like this until you get both ends done, then cleco onto the rear spar. You essentially are trying to smooth from the middle out. I still have 4-5 holes that I just can’t get a cleco into, but I will just drill them and if they are too oblong I will but in an Oops rivet there.
Still pondering how I want to install my pitot. I finally realized that his is how the build goes for me; I get to some major (at least in my mind) area and I have to stew and or think about it before I am willing to commit drill to metal. I think I am too cautious for my own good, or at least for speed of building.
