Wings

Today we finished deburring, scuffing and dimpling the L top skins and then primed everything. The L skins are now clecoed into place and ready to rivet! Instead of riveting though, we continued with the R wing to finish the rear spar and top skin preparation. The R rear spar parts (including the new W-1007D) are all drilled, deburred, scuffed, and ready for primer. The R top skins have all been final-drilled, countersunk, and nutplate attach (inboard side) all prepped. Still need to finish deburring the holes, then scuff, dimple and prime. Once that is complete (hopefully tomorrow) we will be ready to rivet both L and R top skins to the wings!
