Nov 20, 2022     20-5: Back to the left bottom skin - Step 11 - (6.0 hours)       Category: 20: Bottom Skins
Getting back to the bottom skins. Been a little cold lately so tough to find motivation. Dug out the larger outboard skin for the left wing and realized that it never got dimpled. Set up the DRDT2 and took care of that. Then cleco'd the skin in place, taped the first line of rivets, and riveted the trailing edge. A long way to go.

Step 11 covers the riveting of the inner half of the outer skin. Similar to Step 10, this starts at the trailing edge and works forward. Just a lot of time on my knees.

11/21: a little more progress on the left wing. Almost done with step 11. Got everything down to the J channel. Got the pitot mast shoehorned in. Had to trim the pitot heat controller back a bit with a dremel to get everything to clear and go together as planned.

11/22: got through step 11 on the left wing finally. The inner portion of the outboard skin that is riveted mostly from the bottom. Step 12 is the outer portion that is riveted from the end. Off my knees at least. Had a little help from Everett - at least he doesn't run away when he hears the rivet gun anymore.
