LH Leading Edge Internals (1.5)

1.5 hours

Last thing before closing up the leading edge; I ran the wires to the landing light and wing tip, and the air lines that will eventually connect to the LRI.

For reference, these are the grommets I used to support the LRI tubing.

LH Landing Light (0.5)

0.5 hours

Before installing the forward skin, I went back and attached the nutplates and mounted the landing light and its bracket between ribs 11 and 12.

LH Lower Skin Riveting (1.5)

1.5 hours

Lower aft skin riveted on!

Bottom Side Deburring (1)

1 hour

I got the whole bottom side of the wing structure deburred.  Now it's finally ready for the next skin to go on for good.

LH Aileron Pushrod Length (0.5)

0.5 hours

I set the aileron pushrod length, the same way I did the other one.  Pretty easy with two people!

Forward Ribs Deburring & Dimpling (1.5)

1.5 hours

All forward ribs deburred and dimpled!

More Deburring + Upper Skin Riveting (2)

2 hours

I got inpatient waiting for my replacement deburring tool, so I went ahead and deburred the top side of the wing structure with sandpaper.  It actually didn't take very long anyway.  Then I riveting the upper aft skin on.

Left Wing Deburring, part 2 (2.5)

2.5 hours

I got the upper and lower aft skins deburred.  I broke my in/out deburr took the other day, so it's pretty tedious doing these skins with just a hand deburr tool!  I have a new one on the way through, so I'll probably wait until I get it to deburr the spars and ribs.

Left Wing Deburring (2.5)

2.5 hours

The last month has been busy so I haven't gotten anything done!  Today I got a few random things taken care of; I drilled the holes in the top and bottom skins for the #9 rib reinforcements, created the hole for the tiedown hardware, and deburred and dimpled the leading edge skin.
