Today I started on the wing walks.  These are the doubler sheets that reinforce the area where people walk on the wing to get in to the cockpit.  They are made from AL sheet provided, and are not pre-punched.  The long sheet is cut down to 26" and narrowed to 9 3/8".

Then they get clamped to the W-702 skin, and aligned for drilling using the skin as a guide.

The scratches in the pic on the right is in the protective plastic.  Then I deburred the holes and set those aside for now.

I also cleaned the adhesive that was left on the spar reinforcement bars from priming the flanges.  I didn't do it right after in order to let the primer to harden, and then forgot about it until tonight.  All clean!

3.25 hours
