After having riveted all the nutplates to the junction plates between leading edge and fuel tank Sabine gave me a hand to reassemble the leading edges. They will get riveted pending the other small works that have priority (priming the skins being the topmost).



Here, the junction plate clecoed to the leading edge.

Today I send Van's the fuselage order. Options include a tricycle landing gear, a tip-up canopy, two steps, dual brakes, a parking brake and the electrical trim.

Today, I finished dimpling the skins. Before dimpling the part where two skins overlap I filed down a triangular section so that the overall thickness of the two skins matches the tank skin thickness. Yous can see that triangular shape on the right of the picture. You can also see the dimples for the platenuts and screws for the inspection panels.

Sabine has deburred the whole skeleton : ribs and rear spar.

While Sabine was deburring the skeleton, I began dimpling the skins. As they are quite big, I worked on the workshop floor. For the time being only five skins out of eight are done, and only the holes that have to be done with the C-frame
