Brief Description: Cutting, drilling skin access for pitot tube
Rich Donnelly helped me with today's lower skin work.
First we match-drilled the pitot tube stiffiner to the skins, then marked the big airfoil-shaped hole for the pitot tube boom. Mr. Dremel worked well to cut out the boom hole, them file/grind the hole to shape and fit, and then to final-treat the edges.
Deburr, dimple...
Everything fit! I'll wait until I'm actually ready to mount the wings to the fuselage before actually installing the pitot boom and connecting the pitot lines (avoids handling damage).
