Today started with drilling of the rear spars to ribs to #30 holes. That creeper that I borrowed from work came in very handy!
I thought I'd throw in another shot of me, so we can still prove at this point that I'm gettin' down and dirty building this thing!
Then I removed the rear spars for deburring. I also removed the outboard main ribs in order to drill the nose ribs to the spar. So, with the main ribs off, I cleco'd the nose ribs on. The outer most rib gets riveted with the main rib, so I didn't cleco that one in place. I just drilled those holes to size separately.
After those were drilled and marked for orientation, I removed all of the ribs for deburring. I'm not sure about getting these ready to prime yet because I would like to get these dimpled prior to priming. I'll have to check around to see what others have done here because from what I've seen, most prime the ribs at this stage.
