Plane project summary team 4 (Kelsea, Lydia, Liz)

Finished:
● Riveted the wing skins (Kelsea, Liz, Lydia) 2/20/19
○ We had to match drill a lot of the holes because the rivets would not fit even after
cleco-ing and using the awl. This is something we learned is quite common.
● Deburred the rivets (Lydia, Liz) 4/1/19-present
○ This will help for when we paint the plane. It will prevent uneven coats and make
it look nicer overall.
● Riveted and deburred the doubler (Liz, Lydia) 2/1/19
○ Before attaching the doubler to the wing, we had to smooth the edges and holes
of it to prevent more problems in the future.
● Attached the doubler, hinge ribs, wing walk doubler, hand hold, hinge bracket
assemblies (Kelsea, Liz, Lydia) mid to late March
○ This was happening along with the attachment of the wing skins. The doubler
reinforces the wing, the hinge ribs and bracket assemblies will be used to attach
pieces the other class is completing, the hand hold will allow us to easily move
the wings.
● Rivet, match drill, and debur wing tip trailing edge (Kelsea, Liz) 4/4/19
○ This is the wing tip edge of the wing and is one of the final steps of the wing.
● Bent wing tip close-out (Kelsea, Liz) 3/28/19
○ We had to bend each tab to a particular degree measurement to allow us to
attach the piece to the rest of the wing. It was very precise and required detailed
work.
● Fluted forward wing tip rib (Kelsea) 4/1/19
○ This is what the wing tip close-out was connected to. It required curving because
the piece of the wing it was attached to did not match its shape.

In progress:
● Working on attaching the wing tip bottom skin and the aft wing tip rib (Kelsea, Liz, Lydia)
4/1/19-4/4/19
○ This includes riveting, deburring, cleco-ing, match drilling, and deburring the rivet
heads. We left off with the aft wing tip rib. We had to remove a rivet that was in
the way of attaching the piece and next we will cleco the rib to the wing tip bottom
skin.
● Attaching the access hatch (Kelsea, Liz, Lydia) 4/2/19
○ We have dimpled the holes but haven’t attached it yet
