Left wing rib dimpling

Did some serious dimpling. Adele helped me dimple the rest of the inboard top left skin and wing walk doubler with the C-frame. Those are now ready to rivet. Since I need something to rivet them to, I dimpled all of the ribs and rear spar with the pneumatic squeezer. Adele got some pictures of me dimpling:

I also deburred the holes on the outside of the left top outboard skin.

One thing to watch for on the pneumatic squeezer when dimpling with the adjustable set: sometimes it loosens up a bit. I had to go back over some holes when I noticed that it was really loose.

We also let loose the rockets tonight. Very, very fun. Those things really cruise way up there–supposedly 1000 feet.
