1.2 Hours -
Tonight, I finished deburring all of the holes in the left leading edge skin. I also deburred the edges of the skin and dimpled all of the holes that could be reached with my squeezer. The holes that couldn’t be reached with the squeezer will have to wait for another day.
The next thing I needed to do was to cut a slot for the stall warner vane in the leading edge. Cutting the leading edge flat-out makes me nervous! Van’s helps a little by punching two hole in the leading edge as a guide for the cut. The slot, itself, is made by connecting the two punched hole. I made the cut using my Dremel…first with a cut-off disc to make the rough cut, then with an odd little carving bit to finish it off. Once the slot was cut, I used a small strip of emery cloth to smooth the edges and make sure the sides were nice and round. As usual, I was worried over something that was really quite easy!
The leading edge had two small holes punched in it by the factory, I had to turn the two holes into a slot for the stall warner vane.
I used my Dremel to make the cuts, then sanded with some emery cloth. Not bad, if I don't say so myself!
