Left Wing rear spar

Today we spent a few hours building the wing stand that we'll need to construct our wings.  Once that was done we spent the rest of the time preparing the rear spar.  We deburred all the edges, match drilled the stiffner plates and the spar doublers, countersunk any holes as necessary, removed material for the aileron push-rods and deburred all holes.  It was also necessary to dimple the spar where the doubler and stiffner plates will make access almost impossible.  Finally we prepped and primed all the parts.
