Hey folks,
Got the wing kit in day before yesterday and with all the stuff going on inventory has taken a full day.
My question is.
When machine countersinking the #8 screws that hold the fuel and leading edge skins to the spar we need to counter sink the spar deeper than the number 8 screw to allow for the skin dimple to set into the countersink also.. Is this correct. same for the inspection plate 6 screws for the spars. Did you make a sample of the skin out of some scrap .025 material to estimate the depth that the Number 8 screw has to be to pull the skin down or did you just set the screw below flush on the spar?
Did you spot prime the spar before you put the nut plates on?
What size dimple do you need to use for a #8 screw... I had better order one or find someone around here with a dimple set that big.
thanks guys and gals.
