Time to get the top skins ready for priming. I’m waiting on my pitot mast and some terminal connectors for the left wing, so I decided to go ahead and start prepping the top skins so they’ll be ready for priming then dimpling. I am priming first, THEN dimpling because … Continue reading
I came down to get a little work done, and knocked out getting the left Wing leading edge dimple and a D bird all the edges of this leading edge. Now all of my leading edge parts for both wings are ready to be scuffed cleaned and primed with AKZO, … Continue reading
A quick session tonight. I removed the right wing leading edge, disassembled it and then began deburring and dimpling the ribs. I used my pneumatic squeezer to simple all the ribs in quick time after I got them deburred. Here’s the pile of completed parts. Next I decided to go … Continue reading
Back to work on leading edge. I managed to get all of the left wing leading edge parts ready for priming in tonights session. I also captured a time lapse, and you’ll see at the end a lot of reading and standing / looking / planning. I am not going … Continue reading

Time to get down to the dirty work: Deburring, and edge finishing. This will be a short post, but it was jam packed with work. First I deburred all the holes in both aileron parts (skins, ribs, spar, etc). Then, I deburred all the lightening holes in the spar, of … Continue reading
Not really much to report in this build session. I wanted to get all of my left and right flaps parts deburred and ready for the next step, so I started with the right flap skeleton, and deburred all the holes in those parts. I took a few minutes break … Continue reading
