RH Wing Skins Updrilling (1.5)

1.5 hours
Now that the big pieces are all fit, I want to stand the wing back up on the main spar so I can work on both sides.

I went through and updrilled all the holes on the forward skin, but I used a #32 but instead of #30.  They'll all get dimpled for flush rivets so the dimpling will open the holes up to 1/8".  However, a 1/8" cleco doesn't quite fit in a #32 hole, so I had to use 3/32" clecos as I went.  They worked, but they obviously didn't hold everything as tight as normal so I had to be careful and make sure everything stayed lined up while I updrilled.

Anyway once that was done I took the forward skin off and put the wing back on my little work stands for the next tasks!
