Left Wing - 7 hours
Yesterday I put in a good day on the airplane. I finally got the wing level and straight. I had to do a lot more tweaking, but eventually got the twist out of the wing. The picture below is of my DIY plumb bob made from a clevis and some fishing line to measure twist.
Here is the left wing clamped down.
Next, I got out the main skins and made my wing walk doubler. Here is a shot if the doubler being match drilled to the skin.
Then, I installed the main skins (top and bottom) and match drilled them to the ribs.
After that, I built the leading edge and installed it on the wing for match drilling.
The inboard most rib comes with no rivet holes drilled. You have to install and align it, then cram the tank attach strip in between the skin and the rib. The tank attach strip is the thin piece of silver metal extending past the blue plastic covered skin. Once you have everything aligned, you drill the holes.
Next, I enlarged the hole for the tiedown. The hole was off center, so I enlarged it with a carbide bit on my pencil grinder, then rounded the hole out with a sanding drum on the pencil grinder.
Lastly, I cleaned up and laid out some of the left fuel tank components. It's time to get dirty with proseal again!
PS - the weather was FANTASTIC yesterday - it made it up into the 70's, so I had the shop doors open.
