Top left wing skin dimpling

I canceled a bike ride with my buddy Steve in order to do more house projects, but Julie was content just to work in the yard today during the extremely nice weather. So I worked on the plane, of course.

Dimpled the top left outboard wing skin.

It’s now ready to go. Just need to countersink the wing spar. I’ve been putting this off as countersinking is one of my least favorite operations. I just can’t seem to get repeatable results. Maybe my countersink cage is bad.

During the last priming session, I made up a little test strip of primed aluminum. I prepped and primed it just like any other part. I nailed it to an exposed place in the yard. We’ll see how it holds up over the years.
