Rear Spar and J-Stringers
All the J-stringers are dimpled now for the left wing. I also finished deburring the rear spar and started in on dimpling them with the squeezer.
Dimple Left Wing Skins
Continued working on the left wings skins. Tad and I did all the top skins last week and the wing walk doubler. I finished the bottom inner wing skin last night... the only one left is the main bottom skin. I'll wait for Tad's help on that one.
After these skins are dimpled the plan is to prepare the rear spar with dimples and prepare the front spar with countersinks. These will then accept the dimples we just put into the skins and once riveted will lock everything in place. Not only is the dimpling/countersinking producing a flush surface but it also make a stronger bond.
