Brief Description:	Inspection hole work.
Well, today was day 1 of vacation-buring-to-work-on-the-Bearhawk. I'm hoping to make up some time that was spent making our yearly video during the first part of December. I began by finishing the backing rings for the inspection holes. I first rough cut them and then used double sided tape to tape them to the jig. Then I routed them; lots of aluminum dust/shavings! For the oversized holes, I used the other method of drilling the holes in the corners and using a cutoff wheel to cut out the inside of the ring. I then remade the inspection hole covers ONE MORE TIME since the last time I made them, it was with .032" aluminum and I needed to use .025" so they sit flush with the skins. I then sanded all the edges on the scotchbright wheel. Finally, I marked all the locations for the holes, took a deep breath, measured one more time, and drilled the holes for the first inspection hole on the left wing. It turned out great. WHEW! That's going to do it for today.
