Paul Eastham's RV-9A

10/03/2003

4 hours: Finished the last few drill-holes on the skin, then disassembled and deburred the holes in the skin. There must be at least 250 holes, and 2 sides to debur each... Got a reply from Van's about the tight HS skin, they agree that it is due to the skin plastic being present, and also recommended putting grease down on the nose ribs to prevent scratching. Those would have been nice hints to put in the manual, especially since the manual says you can leave the plastic on during drilling...
