Debur, Dimple and Prime.......
I have been working hard the last few days getting all of the skins deburred, dimpled and primed. ALL of the skins are done and I have started to rivet some skins on. I riveted the leading edge skin onto the ribs today and attached it to the wing. The .032 skins rivet a lot nicer than the old .025 skins. They come out smoother. I have clecoed the top wing skin in place and I am ready to rivet it on. I just need someone to help me out with that job. I back rivet the top skin and I have some very special backriveting bucking bars for the job. I had an old friend who used to be a machinist and he turned me out a bar out of some stainless round stock. Then I got the face polished so its very smooth. It leaves a very nicely bucked rivet head smooth with the surface of the skin. I just need a good rivet bucker to get me past this hurdle.
