Started Working on Main Wing Spars - Fabricated a 0.032" plate with a #6 screw dimple in prep for countersinking the main spars (not shown). Drilled the nutplate attach holes on the top flange of W706L to #40 and machine countersunk the holes to accomodate the dimple in the 0.032" test plate. This is a close-up shot of the countersunk holes. Also drilled and countersunk the W706L bottom flange nutplate attach holes. The back side of all holes were deburred and all countersunk holes were alodined with the alodine touch and prep pen. Countersunk W706GL for two platenuts (not shown). Deburred & alodined holes.
