Hours Today: 1.7 Project Total: 616.3



(18-4 step 6):  Tonight I went through the monotonous task of countersinking the rear baffle to skin rivet holes.  These are the only skin holes to get countersunk, the rest get dimpled.  Although the plans don't specifically say it, I think its to ease the installation of the baffle when its sealed in place later during final assembly.  If the skins were dimpled it would be a real pain trying to squeeze the baffle into place between the upper & lower skins.

Here's that 'additional hole' I mentioned the other day.  I don't plan on using it so I didn't countersink it.
