Tank stiffeners and skin drilling
I finished drilling the other half of the right wing fuel tank skin. Got drill happy and drilled a row of stiffener holes that I didn’t need and drilled 2 tank attach holes that will be in the wrong place. (I match drilled the inboard tank attach screw holes but the outboard section I will have to match drill with the holes in the spar. Fortunately they are on the bottom side of the skin. As for the extra stiffener holes… well, guess I’ll put a stiffener in. J)

I also finished deburring the tank stiffeners themselves. Easy job using the 3M wheel. Realized I didn’t quite cut the inboard stiffeners correctly and had to trim a little more off. (I had the top part right, just didn’t trim the bottom edge like I was supposed too.)

(Time: 3.5 hours)
