Re-releco'd and match drilled right tank - 3.5 hours

I planned on working a bit longer today than I did. But that's how weekends go. First order of business was to remove the baffle and look at the z- brackets. The holes turned out really good.
(I will remove the primer that is on the z-bracket where proseal makes contact.....its just easier to prime the whole thing at once).

Then I set up the tank skin back in the cradle and clecoed the assembly back together. Oh what a pain. Again, those two outside (blank) ribs are just mean. Once I had everything back together. I started things off by match drilling the baffle/rib holes.

One of the things that I didn't do was drill the joint plate to #19. I did drill them to #30 though. So I re-cleco'd the joint plate back on. Everything was perfect so I match drilled the holes to #19..one by one.

Then I proceeded to match drill all the right tank skin/rib/baffle holes.


Now I am ready to countersink the wing skin. I started to research what the course of action is here, and It's not a simple answer. Time to call it a day.
