Wing Skins Initial Fitting and Cutting Pitot Tube Hole

Published by olanandkate on

I got the skins out of the attic today with the help of the boys. I got the pitot tube initially drilled along the spar edge and got the side bracket drilled as well. I used the 3D printed template from Allan Glen and it was almost spot on. the three holes along the spar did not match exactly so I had to drill out some of the plastic to make the template work but the rest of the holes are fine since the pitot tube does not come predrilled with any holes. I will get those drilled tomorrow now that I have the skins mounted and can verify they are good to go before removing them, dimpling, deburring, and priming them. I also need to drill the J channel stiffeners in specific areas to match the skin. I would have gotten further along but my network change tonight took way longer than I expected due to unforeseen issues.
