Brief Description:  Dimpling HS Skins and Understructure

Finished deburring the holes in the skin and dimpled the holes in the skin, spars and ribs. The purpose of these dimples is to let the skin rivets be flush with the surface of the skin and reduce drag. Used the C-Frame dimpler to do the skin holes and the pneumatic squeezer to do the rib and spar dimples.

Next I took a scotchbrite pad and scuffed up the surface of the inner skin, ribs and spars so that the primer would adhere better.
