Leading Edge Skin for Left Wing Drilled
I finally managed to get the leadig edge skin drilled for my Zenith 650. I would say this is the most difficult challenge I have faced in this project so far.
I think the biggest feature of what was done was to figure out a way to hold the ribs steady so I can take measurements to transfer from the ribs to skin and also make sure the ribs do not move when trying to fit the skin and for drilling as well. Some of this can be seen in the thumbnail for the video below. The jig will remain in place until I am ready to install the fuel tank.
