The initial work on the front spar is done, so tonight we move on to the rear spar. Started by removing the blue plastic from the stiffener pieces W-707D, E, F, G, and the spars W707A-L&R. These were all deburred using the wheel, edge deburrer, and fine sandpaper.
The main inner stiffener gets trimmed for use in the RV-7 (as opposed to the RV-8 which uses the same spar). So using drawing 38 and 10A, I marked those pieces for trimming, and cut the areas away.
Those are set aside for now while I work on the reinforcement plates W707E & F for the rear spars. These get clamped to the rear spars and drilled to #30.
Also had my first injury tonight...I cut (sliced) my finger on the rear spar flange while deburring! Man that hurts!!!
