Not! We spent all of today doing prep work. First we match drilled the fuel drain flange to the left fuel tank skin and that was the end of the fun tasks. Next we disassembled the left fuel tank and proceeded to deburr and dimple all of the parts. Once that was done we set the left fuel tank aside. We are waiting for the delivery of the nice, shiny, stainless steel fuel caps.
We then moved onto the right wing skeleton. We removed the top skin and starting working on deburring and dimpling all of the parts. Luckily with two of us we can employ a divide and conquer strategy. Darren worked on removing the blue plastic protective coating from the main skin. He then deburred both sides of the sheet and beveled the skin overlap. While he was doing that, I worked on deburring and dimpling all of the holes in the wing skeleton. Afterwards, we teamed back up to dimple the main sheet. Lastly we prepped and primed a few of the fuel tank parts and the main wing skin.
Scott either taking some clecos out, or putting some clecos in (the process is repeated alot...).
