March 2-3, 2017 Skinning "E" to "D"

3/3/2017

Spent some more time working on the airplane last night and today. Probably 6 hours of actual work.

Finished drilling all the holes in the skin. Drilled all the stringer holes to a #30 hole size.
Removed the skin again to trim to a better fit, deburr and back drill a couple holes. Deburred and smoothed the edges with scotchbrite pads. While it was off I decided to prime all the mating surfaces. 

Then I got lucky because a package came from aircraft spruce. another $200 spent on clecos, avex rivets, a rivet squeezer, a blind dimple die, and something else I can't think of off hand.

Because of that I was able to prime and rivet several brackets to bulkhead D and E, and the stiffeners to bulkhead D
