I worked on the Practice Kit some more from Van's and have made some good progress now that I have some the proper tools required.
I had a hard time with the
countersinking on the spar and later discovered the thickness wasn't enough to use the Machined Tool for it. Too late for the one side. So I made them 4 size and continued on. On the other side of the spar i used the hand dimpling tool and then manually used the speed
deburring bit to take just a little more out...testing with a 3 size as I went. It didn't need too much more after dimpling it.
So now i have the skins dimpled and 3 of the 4 skin stiffeners riveted on. It's coming together!!
I also drilled the trailing edge at the required angle of 84 degrees. Still need to counter sink the trailing edge stiffener.
