Bottom Wing Skin Prep

Now that I'm feeling better, I got started prepping the bottom wing skins for riveting. I deburred and dimpled two of the skins and installed the nutplates in three of the six cutouts. After the wing skins, I only have a small punch list of items to complete before I'm ready to rivet the bottom skins on:

Put remaining tank bolts in place and torque all tank bolts.
Put proseal around conduit where it penetrates each rib to prevent vibration from cutting through them.
Reroute roll servo wire through smaller rubber grommet so that the wire can't move as much.
Fix a couple of bent rib flanges inside the main spar flanges
Fabricate a support angle to tie the pitot tube mount to the adjacent rib to keep the skin from having to carry any flexing load.
