Installed nut plate strips on left wingtip

January 24, 2013 – I’ve finished installing the nutplate strips on the left wingtip, with help from my bride…

I drilled the nutplate rivet holes, countersunk, deburred, painted, sealed and installed the strips and the nutplates.

One thing I did differently on this one is to enlarge the final screw holes to #27. I did this because I found the holes a little tight on the right wingtip for alignment. I’ll go back and enlarge the holes on the right wingtip later.
