Match drill skins to spar
Sunday, September 14th, 2008Since I didn’t have all my priming stuff, I stopped to match drill the skin to the horizontal stabilizer rear spar. In his video, George Orndorff mentioned that this may be easier to dimple the spar holes now rather than waiting. This seemed like a good idea.
