DEBURRING. DEBURRING. MORE DEBURRING...
All 4.5 hrs today were spent deburring. Sadly, we're not even done yet. We managed to get all the skins and odds/ends pieces done. We still have three more frames (1006, 1007, and 1008) and all the J-channel stiffeners (12 total). Otherwise, there's really not a lot to say about today. Just one of the necessary albeit unpleasant tasks that need to be done. I hear it gets worse once we start building the wings and there are many, many repetitive steps for all the structural pieces. At least we're 4.5 hrs closer!! Until tomorrow, when we continue to deburr and then move on to the start of dimpling. -M
