Finished counterskinking the Wing Spars - 6 hours

After finishing the HS#2 (My big goal) I was happy to jump back onto the wings and keep moving forward. I continued on with the #6 access plate countersinks. Satisfied with the 0.300" diameter of the countersinks, it took no time to finish the job.




I then moved on to the #8 screw Tank attachment holes. Reading the forums and the blogs I decided to go right in the middle of the recommended countersink diameter at 0.370" Took a while to dial it in, but once I did...I was off and running.




After that was finished, I did the 8 holes for the K1000-4 nutplates. Checked, checked and re-checked to make sure I was countersinking the correct side.

Finished riveting the HS#2 - 3 hours

I woke up this morning excited to get going on finishing the HS. Just a couple of quick hours of riveting and I am done! Ready for the pre-close inspection....Again.


 In retrospect I am way happier with the second HS. Its extremely clean, not a single oops rivet (Although I still have to rivet it closed after inspection - Knock on wood), Once I have completely riveted though I will weight it against the first one. I suspect the first weighs considerably more due to the 2-part epoxy.
