Drilled and Clecoed Left Forward Skin to Ribs |
|
|
Diilled and clecoed the HS left forward skin to the ribs. The same procedure as used for the right forward skin was followed. See a detailed description in the log entries for 4/2/13 and 4/3/13. On the left side I had a bit of a problem using my tool to position the forward ribs so I could see the center line of the ribs (drawn on the ribs in a previous step). On one of the "middle" left ribs, positioning it with my tool caused a slight pucker in the skin where I had "pulled" the rib into place using the special tool that I fabricated. When I pulled on the rib to move it, a corner of the leading edge of the rib "slid" across the inside of the skin and made a slight protrusion. I removed the skin completely and used a hammer to remove the slight pucker. When the skin was replaced and clecoed, I could barely see where the pucker was. I think that this rib was "crooked" when I initially placed the forward skin into place over the ribs as I had to move it considerably with my special tool. When I removed the skin completely it was nice to see that all #40 holes were drilled on the centerlines of the ribs and that the holes were not in any "flutes" on the rib. |
