There haven't been any entries lately for several reasons. For one thing a lot of attention has been diverted to the condition inspection and refurbishment of a Rans S-12XL which was donated to the chapter. That work is now nearly finished and the Rans will soon be sold. Our next kit to complete is the wings, but with the Rans in the way we don't have the room to lay out wings for assembly. Then there's Van's bankruptcy and all the issues that go with that. But when time and space allows, chapter members have been doing what we could in terms of continued prep work on the wings. Almost all wing components have now been primed with Cortec. The nose ribs were prepped and modified according to the directions on page 15-02 steps 1 through 7. Hinge ribs were cut apart in step 8. Nutplates were installed on two ribs and doubler plates were added in step 9. More nutplates were added to another rib in step 10, completing the page. The main ribs are the focus of page 15-03. The ribs were first straightened and trimmed according to the directions on steps 1 through 3. Rib doublers were added to two ribs in steps 4 and 5. When we got to step 6, we realized we had to go back to 14-2 to assemble hinge brackets as outlined steps 5 and 6 on that page. More such prep work will continue until we get the space to actually start assembling ribs onto spars.
