Getting ready to mount the tail
Wing to the hangar
Pretty soon I’m not going to be able to say I’m building an airplane in my garage.
Wing leading edge
The wood on the leading edge combined with the ratcheting tie downs to pull these over worked pretty well
Fluted ribs
These took a while to make and I still need to cut and drill the tops, but they came out well.
Flight controls
Started gathering all of the parts for the flight controls. No pictures yet.
Top wing skins and flaperon horns
Next up is the dreaded root wing skin.
Bottom finished, ready to flip
Feeling cold in the shop today
Riveting
Back to it after way too long. Just riveting and engine mount prep tonight
Main spar drilled and all ribs expanded
Almost ready for disassembly to debur so I can rivet.
Wing Strut Fitting and Baggage floor
Worked on the bracket for the wing strut. It needs to be riveted before the other peices or you can’t get to the rivet heads to pull them.
An old TODO item is the stiffeners on the baggage floor. So I made those, drilled and riveted them.
