Jan 25, 2022     Running wires , aoa tube, stall switch done, working on landing lights - (4 hours)       Category: Wings
Since I'm waiting on back ordered Wing parts, the stub spars for the front of the wings, and my fuselage kit ( it will contain them) is very late with no delivery date, I'm skipping all over the place and doing all kinds of strange steps.

Jan 23, 2022     Flaperons done , wiring wings - (5 hours)       Category: Wings
See completed flaperons hanging overhead. Can't skin the wings without back ordered parts, so skipping around a bit. A little tricky as I could work myself into a corner. Been there, done that. Still waiting on a very late fuselage kit.

Jan 01, 2022     All ribs installed - (20 hours)       Category: Wings
Had a rough time getting rivets in between the inboard ribs, but finally made it happen.
Still missing stub spars, so moving on to the flaperons. Already drilled two holes in the 1st stainless counterweight. Scary.

Dec 21, 2021     Rear ribs attached on both wings - (40 hours)       Category: Wings
Had to replace only about 40 rivets…don't ask…(read those “Notes”!?!?) but finally have the rear spars on. Still waiting on spar doublers and stub spars. Dang it. Might move on to the flaperons instead.
