First time back on the project in almost a year because I have been in the police academy. I asked Zenith to delay the wing and fuel system kits several times since I knew I would not have time to do any work. The kits arrived last week and it feels good to be back on it!
I assembled the skeleton with cleco's. Had to trim the root rib slightly to fit. The spars came from the factory with the upright channels for the fuel tank already mounted with solid and pulled rivets. There is no way to install the nose ribs with those rivets in there. I contacted Roger to make sure I had the correct spars and we verified they are. I will have to drill out the factory rivets to install 2 nose ribs and will use AN3 bolts instead of solid rivets to reattach.
