We had a great Father's Day Weekend camping at Leonard Harrison state park (PA); saw bear, deer, waterfalls, and clouds in a pretty cool gorge they call the PA Grand Canyon.
We had enough time when we got home to tackle the stall warning assembly mods on the left wing leading edge. Nat was a big help!
With the access attach doubler match-drilled, I worked on match drilling the skin at the leading edge. Not sure whether the VA-195 template is necessary given the pre-punched holes, but I looked at it as a tool to prevent elongating the holes.
Once those holes were drilled, devinyled, deburred and dimpled, I marked lines to file out the stall warning vane gap.
The diamond-shaped detail file I have was just the right size - as seen by the keyhole shape in the background.
Rough finished!
Filed & scotchbrited
I also drilled to #40, deburred, dimpled & edge-deburred the VA-195F mini rib.
With the girls occupied I stole a few more minutes to cleco the left leading edge ribs into the LE skin. Couldn't have done it without the clecos they bought for Father's Day!
And...2 wings! Almost. These came together pretty quick, I have to say...which makes me wonder what I'm missing.
Great weekend, noticeable progress, and new tools (clecos & the rolling stool seen in the background of a couple pics). What more could a dad ask for?
Wings: 2 hrs
Looks like you are progressing ,will you run out of space in the garage?
