I think I will have built this plane three times over before I’ve actually completed it the first time. I had the entire HS clecoed together, match drilled, and ready to roll, except of course that it wasn’t riveted together. So naturally you have to take it all apart, deburr everything in sight (both sides all the way around), then send it to the priming shop, then dimpling, then reassemble and rivet together. Whew! What a run!
Coming apart in stages and getting deburred.
