Jan 24, 2011     Wing closing prep - (4.5 hours)       Category: Wings
In the next week, I plan to close the wings, so much of this evening's work centered around final preparations for that. I removed the bottom skins and spent some time examining everything inside, making sure all the flight controls and wiring runs were secured correctly. I added some zip ties to the wiring runs in several locations, and re-checked bolt torques. As I was doing a test-fit of the pitot tube in the left wing, the phenolic power connector simply deteriorated in my hands, so I'll have to order a replacement. (The pins inside are OK, it's just the outer shell that broke apart.)

I also improved the wingtip ground points for the landing lights, and temporarily removed a couple of Adel clamps holding wires to the tip ribs. These would have gotten in the way of the fixture I'll be using to hold the wings while the skins are riveted on.
