This was a really successful day. I was able to knock out a bunch of steps.
\nI got started by counter sinking the top\u00a0baffle holes on the left fuel tank.\u00a0\"IMG_9077\"<\/p>\n

When I was working on the leading edge, I didn’t flute the rib. Since the holes were a little misaligned, I installed a new rib and joiner strip.\u00a0I match drilled the fuel tank to the jointer plate on the left wing.\u00a0

You are supposed to drill out the fuel tank mounting holes to #19. I drilled the holes to #21 and reamed them to #19. The scrap wood was used to keep the drill centered.\u00a0

Since\u00a0SpaceX\u00a0has a more robust drill press compared to what I have at the hangar, I went to work\u00a0to drill the tank access hole.<\/p>\n

I used the doubler ring to find the center.

I took the drilling slow and it worked out great. A firm setup is key.

Hole cut in the rib!
