First, I got the gap fairing parts dimpled.
Then I began on the wing bottom skins themselves, beginning with deburring all the edges. Then the skins were clecoed to the wing, and then I match drilled all holes. I then flipped the stand around and did the same on the other wing!
Today also hit the 500 HOUR MARK!
at 85.00 (combined skilled aerospace labor and manufacturing engineering) an hour that’s almost $ 43,000 gross investment in labor.
Sound about right?
Can’t believe I’ve watched 500 hours of assembly.
I prefer to think of it as $43,000 of savings!
And the videos, at 100x real time, clock in at 4 hours 21 minutes!
