I am very motivated to keep on trucking on the wings. I decided that the only way to get some real progress done this weekend is to remove all the clecos from the right wing and left leading edge, and use them to match drill the left wing skins. A bit of a waste of time to remove all the clecos only to have to reinstall them later. But time I have....clecos I do not.
Besides....This plays well with the fact that my wing stand has little access in between the wings.
I removed the right wing from the stand and placed on the table. I set the left wing up and on the stand and began the process of checking level, twist, etc. Not a quick process but I managed to start clecoing the skin on.
I also took this opportunity to take a better look at the rear spar rivets that the drill made contact with when match drilling the rear spar. It looks so much better than I originally thought. I took out the dremel and placed electrical tape around the area. With a small buffing wheel on the lowest speed, I very carefully touched up the factory heads to remove and sharp edges. only took a second, but I am extremely pleased how it turned out.
