Title: Tank attach nut plates
Began the actual “wing build process” which came with a touch of trepidation, I mean each spar is like 3 grand. Yes, the directions are pretty straight forward as compared to the empennage directions, they basically just say attach tank attach nut plates. So you have to ream the holes, deburr them and countersink for the #40 nut plate rivets. Now we must squeeze them….. but wait, the first few nutplates are angled(cattywompass) so I could not get a squeezer in there well enough so that I didn't half squeeze the shop head. So I had to buck them, which is ok because I like bucking. It was a total pita. Thankfully there are only 5 or 6 and I only had to buck the ones closest to the spar web.
