Trimmed the vinyl off of the VS skin and almost finished deburring all the holes in the skin. The ones closest to the leading edge are always hard to get to so you usually end up using a scotch brite pad to debur those holes because the deburring tool is too big to slide in between the skin halves. Rib flange holes that line up with the holes in the skin are all dimpled.
Only things left before I can rivet the VS together are:
1. Dimple holes in skin using the squeezer and c-frame
2. Dimple leading edge rib holes that I can't get to with the squeezer by using the close-quarter tool.
3. Clean up the edges of the front and rear spar and the skin
4. Finish edge -deburring the spar doubler that strengthens the rear spar. The forked ends on one end are a bit challenging because you need to debur the edges at the base of the fork. I have a method in mind uaing 220 aluminum oxide sandpaper and a dowel that I can use to make a sanding block to smooth the remaining edge. It's too thick for a scotch brite pad and I can't use the wheel to get into this area. This part was stamped out of a very thick piece of aluminum and contains very sharp edges, so it is important to debur the edges so that they do not dig into the rear spar over time.
5. Counter sink the holes in the spar doubler where the rivets will join the doubler to the rear spar. (22 holes to do)
6. Dimple the matching attach points on the rear spar where the spar doubler will be attached.
7. Prime the parts
8. Rivet it all together
