Nothing too exciting here. Just repetitive work, repetitive work, repetitive work. Here's the inboard right skin, all dimpled up and ready for priming on the underside.
Sanding down the skin overlap area isn't easy without the right tools. I used a combination of a Vixen file (too big for fine work), 400 grit sandpaper (not coarse enough), ScotchBrite wheel (doesn't take enough off) and even a Dremel deburring bit (just melts the aluminum). I ended up with some tapering of the skin, but not enough to make a nice joint. Ultimately, I decided not to worry too much about it. On the other hand, Ed did a superior job on his RV-10 skins.
