Skins Drilled, Leading Edges Started (9/1/10)

0.9 Hours -

The wing skins are finally drilled to the spars and ribs.  Too many clecos!

After I finished drilling the wing skins, I test fit a leading edge skin in my cradle.  The fit is perfect.

The leading edge skin fits nicely into the cradle.

Then, it was back to rib deburring.  Since I got tired of deburring when I was working on the main wing ribs, I still have 12 leading edge ribs and about an equal number of tank ribs that need to be deburred, fluted and primed.  Tonight, I used the ScotchBrite wheel to deburr the edges on 6 of the leading edge ribs.  Finishing the ribs will probably take a few sessions, but breaking it up into short work periods seems to make it less monotonous.

Back to rib deburring...
