Top Skin Drilling (1 hr)

Another hot and humid day, so only managed an hour but that’s one less hour to go. To start today I unclecoed the skins so that I could put the top skin l-angles inside that act as stiffeners.

Next I went through every hole in the stiffeners and trailing edges, opening them up to size 30.

Here’s where the trailing edges join

Lastly I drilled pilot holes through the pre-drilled holes in the top skins into the spar, ready for bending the nose skin.

Here’s another view

Like I said, next up is to bend both nose skins over, ratchet them in tight and then drill through the pilot holes. Bending in nose skins is definitely my least favourite build task, so I can’t wait!
