Title: 16-2: Left and right skin final prep
Rearranged some stuff in the shop including moving the right wing to the cradles and the left wing back to the bench to prepare for riveting. I plan to rivet one top skin this coming weekend, and the other the following with some help I have lined up. To make the most of everyone's available time, I have a lot of small tasks that need to be done in a specific order in order to make this work. I'm working on both wings at the same time in my small shop so need to be very methodical. I sat down and made a list of items for each wing so I could sequence the work. 5/2 - Pulled the skins off and dimpled the rear spar which I had not done yet. Then re-cleco'd the skins on after blocking securely to the benches. Everything aligns and looks good for riveting this weekend. Also sanded the corners on the right skin and deburred the edges. Those are ready to prime. 5/21 - pre-installed most of the rivets and taped in place. Finally bought some actual rivet tape and glad I did. It will be much better than the scotch tape I've been using to date. Primed the right wing skins this afternoon too.
