Brief Description: Prepared bottom skins for riveting
Up early and I worked all day today getting the final wing bottom skin ready to rivet on. I first finished up the counter sinking of the rear spar holes on the right wing. Then I ran some string all the places I may need to pull wires, this will help when I finally decide what kind of lights I am going to have and what antennas I will have in the wing tips. After that was done I dug out the wing skins and pulled the blue plastic off the prepared the skins and primed them. This took a long time since I still had to deburr all of the holes, and I needed to remove strips of the blue plastic along the rivet holes on the top of the skin Then I set up the DRDT to dimple all of the holes on the left and right skins. I also drilled and dimpled the holes for the right wing inspection plate. I gave the right skin a test fit and realized that I still need to bevel the inboard edge of the skin where it overlaps the inboard skin. With that done it was another quick test fit and some smoothing of the bevel. I called it quits, over 9 hour of time in the shop today, I was ready to start riveting the bottom skin but I am just too tired.
