Hours Today: 6.0 Project Total: 29.8



I've been looking forward to getting home to work on this all day!  Ok, first step, mark the Empennage fairing screw holes... done!  Next step, disassemble the skin & skeleton... done!  Then I busted out the soldering iron and cut the "requisite" RV rivet stripes in the blue nylon film protecting the exterior of the skin.  After that I get to do the fun stuff... debur... and debur...

and debur... and debur... wait a minute... what was it I was looking forward to again???  Ahh yes... the sooner I get done with this, the sooner I'll be priming and riveting this weekend!!

While I "slaved" away with the deburring duties, Angela really got in to her rudder project!  I really expected her to jump back on the web site, but instead she beat me to the garage tonight!  I love a motivated woman!  Here she's working on Section 7, page 2, step 3, separating the R-1010 shear clips for the rudder.  I believe her comment was "I want to give you some more parts to prime this weekend"

Cruising right through the shear clips, Angela jumped right into Section 7, page 3, the rudder stiffeners.

Angela continued cutting & deburring stiffeners until I finished deburring the skin.  There are still a few more to do, but we're making some good progress.  Can't wait to continue tomorrow...
