Finish Dimpling and Riveting Leading Edge |
|
|
Finished dimpling the ribs this morning after I found the right nail for the dimple die at Ace Hardware. It is an 8 penny bright box nail. An 8 penny finish nor an 8 penny common would work. I have not decided on what type of landing light to use so I used dental floss through the grommets to act as a fish tape when I do install the lights. I also can't finish installing the position/strobe light into the wingtip yet. Although Aircraft Spruce said they were sending the Sonex adapter plates, they didn't. I got the impression that they really had no idea what I was talking about so I called Kuntzelman Electronics to request a set. No luck since they are at Sun-n-Fun and won't be open until Tuesday. Delays, delays. Next job: build the Tony Bingellis wing cradle so that I can get this one out of the way and start the right wing. That will have to wait until next weekend. Headers are going on the Mustang today. |
