Drilling control surface skin overlaps

Postby Bryan Cotton » Fri Nov 22, 2013 10:07 pm

Initially found this a bit challenging as there is nothing backing up the skin. Got some quality duct tape (gorilla brand), formed it into a T shape, and stuck it on the skin. This way you can pull on the tape with pliers. It actually works better pulling away from the edge of the tape, which is not what is shown in the picture. A sharp new drill bit helps too.
