Finished getting the wing skins all clecoed on, and match drilled all holes. I got bethany on cleco patrol, and i was drilling. It went really fast that way.

There's also some dimpling and countersinking to do at the inboard portion of the wing skins.

So after we finished match drilling and countersinking, we pulled the skins off and started deburring. This is also when we use the soldering iron to remove the blue protective plastic around the holes.And now the really scary part. I think it's called "scarfing" the joint or something. The point here is to sand the skins at the overlapping joints so that it's not so abrupt. Smoothing out the transitions basically. All i did at this part was worry. I'm glad it's over, and i think i did ok.
