Posted: Sun Apr 20, 2008 7:10 am Post subject: WIng Question

I’ve just finished match drilling the wing skins and am getting ready to start deburring, dimpling, and priming.  

   

I’m curious as to how others handled match drilling, deburring, and dimpling the bottom side of the wing ribs and rear spar.    

   

While it’s easier to do now before riveting the top skin the wing ribs, I suspect it’s probably better to wait until the bottom skins are attached for a more perfect fit.  My thoughts are that I will probably have to touch up the priming after final match drilling and dimpling.

Since you bring this up, I will mention that it is much easier to do all of the deburring, dimpling and priming before anything on the wing is riveted.  My recommended order is to cleco and drill everything, then mark parts very well and disassemble, debur, dimple and prime all parts, then install the wing ribs to the spar, then the rear spar, then the outboard leading edge (so you can squeeze the rivets onto the spar flange), then the top skins, then the fuel tank, then the bottom skins, then the aileron controls.  YMMV, but this works really well in my experience and avoids the problems you mention here.

I primed everything as I went, aka, all the ribs are primed  than I followed through the steps Van's has in each section except I did NOT  rivet the bottom skins on..

 So I did match drill and dimple all holes and the bottom is  ready to be riveted, I moved on to the next section and will rivet the bottom  later. As far the primer being removed, after I deburred each hole using  a brush did touchup on the bottom ribs, the bottom skins were primed after  all dimpling and deburring.

Sorry it took so long for me to acknowledge your response.   My mother-in-law passed away last weekend and have been pre-occupied on family issues this week.  

   

As soon as I read your response, it was the my hand hitting my forehead  and wondering why I didn’t think of the obvious.   I had already prebuilt ahead to get economies for priming.  I just didn’t build far enough ahead yet.  

   

I think Van’s should move chapter 20 up for at least match drilling.  That makes so much more sense.
