First Skins
With some assistance from my lovely wife tonight, we flipped “Lefty” over in order to start the skinning process. I had to start by peeling back the blue plastic coating on the aluminum skins, then clecoing the skin into place.
The process is pretty simple, and I am still amazed how well all the components fit together. I put most the clecos in place tonight, and the riveting process will start soon. Good thing I have a pneumatic rivet gun!
I had my wife sign her name to the inside of the wing, to put a personal touch on the plane. My kids have signed other places as well.
