Flaperon Skins

Yesterday the angle I ordered to fabricate a new actuator arm arrived. This morning I fabricated, drilled and primed the new actuator.
I also started to remove the blue film from the nose skins and started to deburr the edges with a Scotch Brite wheel on an angled grinder. As I was removing the blue film from the flaperon rib skins I damaged one of the skins. I have ordered a replacement part from Van's.
After removing the blue film from all of the skins I finished deburring the edges and then clecoed the rib skins in place.
