Completed drilling the HS#2 front spar - 4 hours

Started off the evening by un-clecoing the skins on the left skin and marking out the holes for completing the cuts on the HS-702 spar. I then cleco'd the ribs and match drilled. I completed the cuts on the relief hole at the end of HS-702 and fitted everything back together on the skins. I prepped the new HS-00005 and set in on drilling the ribs to the front spar. Everything went extremely well, and I am very pleased with the workmanship. Finally!!!






































I un-cleco'd the skins and then began to drill all the remaining holes on the front spar outboard of the HS-00005/00006 ribs. I was sure to use my drill press and ensure that all holes were as straight as could be.
