Deburring the skins.Timer icon2h

January 28, 2025

A bit more work on the weekend.

First, I deburred the top skins, to prepare them for priming. Then, I sanded corners of the top skins to create the "scarf joint" where two top skins overlap. I used Roloc discs for rough sanding, then sanding paper on a block to finish.

The scarf joint.

After that, I installed all the rivets that attached the leading edge to the main spar.

The leading edge is fully riveted.
