I had a very productive day in the shop today. First I clecoed on the left tank skin & matchdrilled it to the tank ribs. With the tank skin in place, I could drill the screw holes attaching the tank to the leading edge.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After that I finished matchdrilling the leading edge skin and ribs to the spar. Then I removed the tank skin and leading edge and deburred all the holes in the skin and ribs. Yawn!!
\nMore interesting, the landing light \/ taxi light kits comes with a template for drilling the bracket attachment screw holes in the ribs…
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I only used the template for the first rib, then used this rib as template for the others.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After that, I drilled the nutplate rivet holes
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally I spent a couple of hours deburring and final adjusting everything. I am almost ready to prime the leading edge parts now, only need to deburr the skins on the inside, that’s it!
