| The Saga continues, When dissassembling, I noticed that the outboard wing skin W1003 had a serious dent in it. When ABF |
|
| deliveed the kit they put a fork from a forklift through the bottom of the crate and it damaged one of the onboard skins W1002, I |
|
| filed a claim w/ ABF (they are denying, it... long story, but i'm not doing any more bsuiness w/ them). It turns out that it |
|
| wasn'tonly the W1002, but BOTH of the W1003's as well, I don't know how I missed seeing them earlier, the impressions from |
|
| the fork morror those on the inboard skin. Anyway, I played around with 'pushing the dent out or at least pushing it inward so as it |
|
| could be filled with body filler @ paint time. This whole thing bummed me out, and I took a day, and then decided to reorder new |
|
| skins from Van's (I'll deal w/ ABF seperately). Mean while, I did a little work on the inboard skin for the Right wing, countersunk |
|
| all of the holes, dimpled the rest, deburred all holes in the inboard skin and the wing walk doublers, dimpled the J channel |
|
| stiffeners. The new skins arrived late this afternoon, and I put the 'scarf' edge in boothe the inboard and outboard overlap joint, |
|
| and then Drilled (actually I reamed) the new skin, and deburred all of the holes. Tomorrow dimple the outboard skin, the read |
|
| spar, and ribs, then prime. |
