Brief Description:  Ailerons - Dimple the skin nose holes into pipe 1

Next I had to figure a way to dimple the curved part of the forward skin where the counter weight goes. I saw some sights where builders use the pipe dimple as the female hole and hit the male dimple die into the skin, into the pipe hole/dimple. So I made the little wood holder to get the skins up off the bench and to make a sturdy place for the pipe to rest. I pooked around in my tools and discovered that a maganetic bit holder could hold the male dimple die and allow me to whack it with a hammer. So I made a scrap piece and practiced. It worked pretty good.
