  • Plans build, wings: need a pre-skin checklist

    I think we're ready to put the main skins on the wings but i want to make sure all the jobs that will be more difficult after skinning have been done.
    I've looked through the old Bear Tracks and Bearhawk Tips but haven't found anything to confirm the order of operations.
    where should I be looking for this?​

    I liked his way of preparing the aluminum for priming before it is bent into airfoil.

      Eric Newton's Wing manual should be another resource for you.

        I hadn't been to Eric Newton's site - lots of good stuff there.

        I like B Spot's videos.
        We are actually a bit ahead of this particular video - all the sheet metal has been shaped, fitted, drilled, and cleco'd in place.
        Were ready to remove the skins, dimple and deburr, and start riveting.
