Now that the wings are solid on the modified rack, it is time to attack the right wing top skins. I had previously clecoed the skins on the frame to help keep it ridgid, so I added a lot more clecos and started final drilling. It was a lot of drilling and countersinking since the inboard skin and wing walk doublers are countersinked instead of dimpled. No issues here, however, and it went quickly.

Deburring with the power tool is a breeze and my dad being in town for Christmas lent me a helping hand on the deburring and dimpling. I also got in a couple of cans of the SEM primer in an aerosol can. This is what the original wing builder used and I thought I’d give it a shot. I must admit a like it a lot better than the Dupli-color and may go back to priming everything (I know, I’m so indecisive). It was a nice day, so I rolled everything outside and shot the primer on all the parts, completing the priming of the ribs. I’ll do the left wing when I make it that far. The dogs provided moral support for me.
