May 16, 2022     Match drilling the left flap nose ribs - (1 hour)       Category: Flaps
This was a short session because I started late tonight. After researching a little more on the edge bending of the nose skin, I decided to wait until after I dimple it to apply the bend using the Cleaveland edge seamer tool. So I proceeded to assemble the nose skin with the rest of the pieces and cleco'ed everything in place. This allowed me to match-drill the two remaining holes in each of the nose ribs.

What's next? Normally, I should also be match-drilling the trailing edge aluminum extrusion (VA-140) before going further, but that is back-ordered still. So I think my next step will be to disassemble these pieces, deburr, prime, and possibly rivet the internal assemblies. Or I could set this aside and start on the right flap...
