Wings, Bottom Wing Skins (Part 7)


During today’s session, I dimpled the W-00004-L & -R Inboard Bottom Skins.  I used the pneumatic hand squeezer to dimple the holes that could be reached with my 3” yoke and the DRDT-2 for all the remaining holes.  Because both Inboard Skins are essentially identical and share the same rivet/dimple locations, I will only show the Left Bottom Skin in the pictures below.  Another reason for showing the Left Inboard Bottom Skin is because it has two very small differences compared to the Right Bottom Skin.  The two differences are:

1.   These six rivet (and dimple) locations circled in black is where the W-00012E Mounting Zee will be installed for the ADAHRS Mount Bracket.  (The J-Stiffener will also be used for this bracket installation.  The preparation for the ADAHRS bracket mount is covered in Post #5 and the installation will be covered in future post).

2.  The small 1/4” hole next to the Access Panel.  This hole will be used later in the build for the outside air temperature probe.....I think.  This hole is located in the area where the ADAHRS will be installed, so it only makes sense for the temperature probe to be co-located in the same place.

This picture shows the opposite side of the Left Inboard Bottom Skin.
