More match drilling right wing skins - 4 hours

Started to celco the bottom skins on the right wing. I put the plumb-bobs back on the front side of the wing to periodically check level and twist as I went...Excellent. No Movement.




I had marked out on the spar the location of the tie-down hole. It occurred to me that this would be a great place to use a template (I have been making/using them with great results so why stop now).
I folded a piece of paper in half and taped the edges to help stiffen the template. I then started marking directions on it and then clecoed it onto the wing using the spar edge/paper edge as a guide. It was very easy to transcribe the location of the tie down hole and I noted the dimension of the hole from the spar edge as an extra precaution.

As a side note...I find checking off holes as I match drill them to be a very quick and easy way to verify that I have already drilled a hole. Nothing more time consuming (or potentially elongating a hole) by drilling the same hole multiple times.
