Title: Worked on multiple parts
Fuselage 1 (Josh Weiss): We finished riveting the floors onto the bullhead. We started adding some of the ribs onto the bulkhead as well. We had to rivet some pieces at a weird angle so we had to use special tools and techniques to reach them. Fuselage 2 (Rebecca Colwell): We just dimpled nutplates and prepped part F 01206A -1. We installed some hardware that will help protect the part from abrasion. Wing Spars (Holden Glass): We finished riveting the flaperon hinge bracket to the spar. We continued working on the rear spar doubler plate. We did some countersinking, but had some difficulty reading the plans and had to use our judgement. We will now rivet them onto the part. Main Wing Ribs (Maggie Colwell): Finished deburring all the main ribs, and clecoed some of them onto the spar. We were kind of going ahead and did the same steps twice on 2 different ribs. Front Ribs (Harsh Patel): Finished doing the last W - 1208 - R piece. We had lots of issues with getting the machinery to work. We used a drill, but it drilled in a triangle shape (user error from me). We then had to fix that. When dimpling the nutplates, the nutplates were being malformed. We then had to straighten that using tools. At the end, I found out that the main ribs team had done the same step I had on another part. It is no big issue, but in the future better communication should be due (all parts were labelled initially for these steps, however the labels were not read or heeded to by the everyone [other team]). Mentors: We are waiting for some back ordered parts. We can't move forward with some steps in the fuselage, so we will work on alternate parts for now. Covid, weather, and some other factors may be causing this back ordering. For the wings if you flip the L and R pieces that messes up how the wiring and internal components go inside the wings.
