May 10, 2024     Enlarged holes in wing ribs for wiring conduit - (3 hours)       Category: Wings
The original holes were only 1/2". I enlarged these to accommodate convoluted tubing.

Finished drilling and removing the remains of the rivets for the top skin.
 
Feb 17, 2024     Removed outboard R wing top skin - (4 hours)       Category: Wings
I removed the R wing outboard skin due to poor riveting by the previous builder. This will allow me to more easily fully inspect the rest of the wing.


 
Feb 11, 2024     Removed inner R wing top skin - (6 hours)       Category: Wings
Made the decision to remove the wing top skins to inspect the wing more thoroughly, and replace the many improperly set rivets that I found on initial inspection.

Removed inboard right wing top skin.


 
Jan 01, 2024     Remove Aileron, Flap, and Fuel tank from Right Wing - (2.5 hours)       Category: Wings
Removed the Aileron, Flap, and fuel tank from the right wing. This is so I can inspect the wing carefully, and verify it is built to the plans.


 
Dec 25, 2021     Inspected left wing. - (2 hours)       Category: Wings
I removed the clecoed in place covering on the left wing and inspected the work underneath. I found a few obviously defective rivets, and a few that I need to put a rivet gage on. I also found a small crack in a dimple for the wingtip screws. I'm glad I did this inspection, but I'm a little worried I may not like what I find in the other wing once I borescope it. I'm worried I may have to do a lot of drilling!
