Aug 05, 2023     Bottom Wing Skin: messed up adhrs mount and j stiffener, order replacement parts. - (3.4 hours) Category: 20:Bot Wing Skin
I messed up the parts, the main mount was drilled where it rested on the rounded part of the j-stiffener causing it to bow once riveted. I tried a repair that only caused more issues so I decided to order replacement parts. Also did some other miscellaneous prep work and began the deburring of the outboard left lower skin.

Jul 31, 2023     Bottom Wing Skin: prep adhrs mount, drill nutplates in left lower root ri, adding rib passthroughs - (2.3 hours)       Category: 20:Bot Wing Skin
