Dimpling the VS, HS, and Rudder Skins

I finally had a chance to break out the NUMATX squeezer and the CARD1, which have been sitting collecting dust since giving up my RV-10 build a couple years ago. It’s probably overkill for the Sling, but it makes nice crisp dimples and its pretty nice to be able to hold the parts with two hands and dimple with the foot pedal. Especially the skins, which can be hard to maneuver onto the nipple of the dimlpe die.
