Title: Wing cradle
Had my son Brodie help me build a wing cradle using some 2x4's and scrap plywood from the crate that the wing skins came in. The cradle will allow me to store the wings elsewhere while working on the fuselage. In Canada there are some specific steps that need to be done when building an amateur built aircraft. The process is done through the MD-RA which stands for Minister's Delegates - Recreational Aviation. Essentially the MD-RA is a group of dedicated and trained volunteers who are delegated by Transport Canada to inspect amateur built aircraft in Canada. After each inspection, the MD-RA inspector fills in a substantial amount of paperwork that gets submitted to the government. To build an aircraft in Canada, there are key milestones for inspection. Check out MD-RA.com for full details. I had my initial inspection, the Major Portion inspection to ensure that the project fulfills the 51% or more requirement to qualify as an Amateur Built. My next inspection will be the Pre-Cover inspection. This will be done to ensure that the quality of the workmanship and the materials in the construction are of aviation quality. This means that I can only sheet the wings on one side until after that inspection. The inspector will need to see inside the wings before he can approve them. To save the inspector from coming out twice for the Pre-Cover, I'll only sheet the topsides of the wings and I'll work on the fuselage to the point of covering.
