WORKING ON THE CAP STRIP MAIN SPAR

I received the materiel for the Cap Strip of the Main Spar. It took me two hours to figure exactly the place of the 1/8 hole of the longest Cap Strip. Then I was able to make the shortest Cap Strip and finally, on set was done. Because I don't want to make a mistake by drilling at the wrong place, I spend my time double checking the correct position of every hole.

The 1/8 hole are pre-drill hole, the, at the finale stage, the holes will be 5/32 to accommodate the rivet as per plan.

The next step is to complet the three others Cap Strip and cut the 4130 plate used with the Cap Strip at the inboard wing spar location.
