Title: Worked on multiple parts
Fuselage 1 (Josh Weiss): We finished up the forward lower part of the fuselage. We got to the part that we needed to the tank sealant. Then we moved onto a different section and started deburring. Fuselage 2 (Rebecca Colwell): Toda we dry fitted al the extra parts on the bulkhead. Then we worked on countersinking, we were having issues with the machine countersinker. We decided to hand countersink with the deburring tool. Wings Spar (Holden Glass [left], Margaret Colwell [right] ): We finished riveting the attach brackets (the small brackets to which the ribs attach). Then we started work on the stub spar that goes on the spar. We will be ready to start attaching the ribs to the attach brackets after 1.5 weeks. Wing Ribs (rest of wings right): Continued work on mass deburring. Started fluting some of the ribs. Fluting is bending metal to make a side shorter and make it such that the whole piece flat. Removes any bows on the ribs so that when we put it in the plane, we are not bending or flexing the piece to make it fit. Mentors: They shipped the finishing kit. They are still a month behind but the stuff is on the way.
