Dimple, Dimple, Countersink

The last two evenings have found me dimpling the skins and ribs, and countersinking the spars as you can see by the pictures below.  This is a tedious process but got easier as I went along.  Since I have not had the opportunity to attend any sheet metal training classes the first time I do something I cringe; Dimpling was no different.  I think it turned out OK so we will see what others think.  Speaking of others, tonight I got in contact with Tom Staggs and asked him to be my EAA flight/tech adviser   I only had a short chat with him but he seems to be a very nice person who has a passion for flying.  My kind of person!  He has his own web site www.flightdreams.com that you really need to look at.  He takes the passion for flying to a whole new level.
