Title: 16-2: Right skin final prep
5/24 am - Got the completed left wing moved to the cradle to clear the bench for dimpling. Got the DRDT2 setup and dimpled the inboard skin. 5/24 pm - dimpled the larger outboard skin after work. Wasn't that bad. Used my steel shot bags to help hold the skin flat to the dimpling table when the overhangs got long. Supported the ends with some boxes and the other workbench. Actually did the whole skin unassisted; it can be done! Moved skeleton over to bench to do some other clean up work. 5/25 am - drilled out the aileron bracket. I had already ordered new attach angles feeling like the holes in the bracket itself would be fine. They are not. Might as well just order the whole shebang. Bracket shows as backordered though. 5/26 pm - finished up the last few items tonight to be ready to hang the skins and rivet this weekend. Was able to use my new longeron yoke to squeeze the flush rivet on the inboard spar. Then dimpled all the remaining holes in the rear spar and ribs. Purchases: new aileron bracket and associated parts
