Hey guys,
This may seem rather simplistic but I have a pretty basic question. On my wing plans (dated 2001, matched hole, prepunched), the text states you cleco the skins on the skeleton (after mounting on jig) by clecoing every fourth hole. I have done all that and the structure seems to fit nice and tight...as it should! The plans text then reads that you begin drilling the skins by starting at the top in the middle of the skin and begin working down and out and smoothing out any slack!
Is this a throwback to when the ribs weren't matched hole? I have no problem starting my drilling wherever I am supposed to, but it seems that this structure all clecoed together every four holes has pretty well taken that procedure out of the loop.
Thoughts?
