Brief Description: Match drill, Debur, and dimple bottom forward skin
After clecoing the bottom skins to the fuselage and Match drilling the #30 and #40 holes common between the bottom skins and the cross rib structure, I removed the skins and debured the edges as well as deburing the holes. Rounded the rear edge on the middle skin. Riveted the forward skin to the two slopped ribs. This proved harder to access than expected. I did opt to use pop rivets fro the rear two holes as well as one hole on the rear cross memeber where I had little to no access. (I buggered up one of the holes on the Left side sloping rib. I missed the dimpling on the hole and tried to dimple the hole while attached the the ribs. Since it was difficult to pull back the aluminum skin and access it I missed the hole with the squeeze pnematic dimpling tool. This left a duel hole issues. -- I will have to use a little filler on this one, not my proudest effort) I did put a large glob of RTV on the rear side of the slopping ribs to help revent cracking. Riveted the 4 wing root holes previously left open. Riveted the forward cross rib to the bottom skin and then riveted the cross member to the structure.
Jennifer helped me for an hour or more to rivet the bottom skin areas that I could not access without two people riveting together. (I'm wearing out my help, Jennifer had a sore back from the access angle.)
