What to do with those wing spar countersinks?

All,
I did the same thing as Chad except I didn't take the time to mask...

Neither did I Lorin. When you CS the remainder (the skin to spar ones) you will have to do it again anyways.

Also, when it comes time to squeeze the nutplates on, you will have to grind off one side of a flat set in order to do it right. Thermos reminded me of this when he did his.

Looks great!

CJ - thanks!

BTW, I've already riveted the nutplates on both spars and didn't seem to have any problem with a standard Avery hand squeezer & dies.
I was just careful to not ride down the "cone" of the nutplate.

Thx,

looks great lorin! i actually primed after i riveted the nutplates on, but i've seen it both ways. i just wanted to make sure i primed where the screw dimples go in. lots more countersinking to do on down the spar!!
