Just need to commiserate a bit...
I had a very bad night tonight. Just finishing up a few things on the left outboard wing skin before starting to rivet it in. (The right wing is done.)
I was dimpling the #8 screw holes in the skin for the Gretz pitot mast and a big chunk of the skin cracked and just broke away. The hole was deburred but not perfectly round. I could not get it any more round with the #19 drill so I just proceeded.
Looks like I get to order another skin and start over. I'll be ordering a #19 reamer as well. Not going to take that chance again!
