Here are a few shots from some misc wing prep we have been doing while the ProSeal sets up on my fuel tank fixes.
I forgot to add some 7/16" dia holes in the ribs for the snap-in grommets for the pitot line and the AOA. Other builders, you might want to plan for this before riveting your skeleton together. All of the ribs were easy to get to with my right angle drill except the the two center ones where the wingwalk doubler resides. After some discussion, we figured we could get this solved with a long drill bit. Well, shoot, Harbor Freight to the rescue once again. We found a set of 3 of these huge 24" long drill bits for $8. Problem solved, worked great. If anyone needs to borrow them, give me a call.
A shot of Dad building a bracket for the right ER tank fuel pump. He's giving the pneumatic rivet squeezer with my new longeron yoke a go. The squeezer takes a little getting used to when you first get started with it. But he did say he is a big fan of it, it is a nice tool.
Cutting my access holes for the ER tank...just mirrored what I did on the left wing.
