May 12, 2022 3 Wing kit inventory complete, starting on the flaps Category: Flaps
Inventory of the remaining items in the wing kit is complete. No other missing items were encountered (besides the backordered ones and the washers I mentioned yesterday). All of the kit items were organized on my new shelves grouped by letter prefix (A, FL, W, T, other). I'm using the two shelves next to each other so that the long items can span across them. I'm planning on leaving the wing spars, the uncut tubes, and uncut J-channel in the long crate for now. The other crate has been emptied and I've stacked the skins upright against the garage wall for now.

I've decided to skip ahead and start work on the flaps (section 21) since it has fewer components and they are easier/cheaper to replace if I make any mistakes, since this will be my first time working on anything. I decided to warm up by trying out the scotch-brite wheel to deburr the edges of the four FL-1007-L pieces, which seemed to work well. I also ended up rearranging my workshop by moving around the worktables so the powertools could be against a wall--I think that'll help reduce the dust going into the rest of the house.

I started cutting out the cradles that were drawn on the lid of one of the crates with my jigsaw, but I'll need to finish that tomorrow when it's not so late and I can make more noise.
