Hours Today: 1.1 Project Total: 544.6



Tonight turned out to be one of those times you look back on it and think "that's IT… that's all I got done!"…  Oh well, something is better than nothing!
(17-4 step 1):  On the underside of each leading edge skin there is a hole that must be enlarged for a tie-down ring.  You simply open up the hole gradually with a step drill.  I've found I get better results if I step the hole up to about 1/4" first with drill bits before using the step drill.  Since I'm doing both leading edges at the same time, I could drill both holes, change bits, drill both holes again, etc, etc...

(17-3 step 1):  This is what took longer than it should've… the wing kit has been sitting for almost a year, and the vinyl seemed like it didn't want to come off.  I got to do this solo this time, and with the curved skins it was a nuisance… REAL productive work here!
