January 2 and 3, 2010
Tim and I worked for a few hours on the afternoon of January second verifying the layout and beginning the match drilling of the stablizer. I worked a few more hours that evening and then finished a large part of the match drilling with #40 drill the following evening in about an hour (I spent almost the same amount of time documenting what I did….something is wrong with this distribution of actual work vs. documenting…..).
From here it’s updrilling, deburring, dimpling, priming and riveting and then riveting. We have to match drill the skin to the frame at some point and at this point we have not completed this step on either the vertical stablizer or this frame so we have to work this process out.
