Port Wing Off the Shop Stands

Post by ksatter26 »

The port wing is now off the shop stands sitting on the lift and jury struts.

34 rivets in each upper lift strut mount (epoxied also).

All that's left is to re-verify the sweep, dihedral, and washout before 5/8" drill thru the wing root boss attach points thru the lower ends of the wing spars. I'll also locate and epoxy in the pitot fitting. I have some quick connect/disconnect fittings (od 0.75") for 0.25" flexible tubing. I hope to locate one through the butt rib near the fwd spar. I need to verify that I'll be able to access the fitting to make the connections. It should shorten the tubing run considerably. I can then actually fold the port wing to regain a lot of shop space.
