Feb 19, 2020     Spar work - (2.5 hours)       Category: Wings
Moved the spar from the bench to the "wing rotisserie". I got my family's help to move the LH wing out of the shop many days ago. This provides me some more room to work. Moving the spar to the rotisserie will give me room on my workbench again.

I measured and laid out the location for the spar webbing. This allowed me to determine how much plywood I'll need to finish the spar. Not just ordinary plywood, this is beautiful Finnish birch plywood. I'll need 15 sheets of 2.5 mm ply for the wing skins and a 4 mm sheet and a 6 mm sheet for the spar. I'll be ordering this plywood from Canadian Aeroplanes Limited. Since the plywood comes in 50" x 50" sheets and has to be shipped from Ontario, I want the order to be right on the first try.

I cut, trimmed and epoxied in the stiffeners for the opposite side of the bulkheads.
