Deburring. Feel the joy.
The replacement tailwheel spring bracket arrived from Vans. I was
very careful drilling the holes this time and they came out perfect.

| I was supposed to fly the Citabria in the South Jersey All Grass All Day tour today but it was cancelled for weather. So I worked on the RV all day. Most of it was de-vinyling, deburring and dimpling the three aft fuselage skins, J-stringers, and bulkheads. This is a one of the side skins, nice and devinyled. | ||||||

||||||
| On the original part, this hole was pre-drilled, but I get to do it this time. I didn't want to ruin the bracket again so I was as careful as I could, using the drill press and securing the bracket. | ||||||

|
||||||
| I used bungee cords to secure the bracket to the pedestal. | ||||||
