Brief Description:	Preparing HS
Well I have steadily been putting in on the HS over the last week and I have gone from selecting all the parts to drilling deburing fitting, countersinking and now ready for paint. Parts selection 2 Pre-fit and primary debur 4 HS Drill 4 HS Skin and spar Debur 4 Skin coating 3 Dimpling 4 Countersinking 3 Other 6 During this time I was helped out with a vist by Peter Pendergaast, a tech Councillor for the SAAA. He was refered to me by a number of members from the Chapter 20 - Kyneton group as 'a good man to talk too'. Let me say, Peter is firstly a great guy, and secondly a great plane building mentor. Some of his 'tricks' and advice will save me a lot of heartache. Thanks Peter. He checked my build progress so far and thought it was "well done" and so basically I am very happy. It is always good to get an experienced hand passing his knowledge on to us newbees....
