I first got the wings out in the garden and then installed all the nutplates for the wing fairing. There is some drilling, deburring, countersinking and dimplig to perform. Small tasks but very time consuming.
I also installed two strings to be able to pull the wirings once the wings are on for good.



I then took of the bottom skins and performed the service bulletin on the autopilot servo arm by install the small bracket that will retain the screw should it try to unwind itself.



I then removed the left fuel tank, the one with the all position fuel pickup. It seems that the fuel quantity sender's seal might leak when in contact with aviation fuel. I will put some proseal on them to avoid contact with the fuel, but to do this on the left tank it has to be removed. The right side can be done with the tank on the wing.
I also tied to find a sequence to rivet the bottom skins as access seems somewhat difficult.

In the next weeks I will have to rivet the bottom skins of the wings. This will be done on sunny days in the garden. But before I have to take the wings out of their sarcophagus.



I then write the rivets to be used on the skins to avoid having to read the drawings too often. I also begin to drill for the nutplates used to screw down the wing intersection fairing, but I will have to get the wings out of the cradle to finish that part.

The left stick I have ordered about ten days ago, has already been delivered. Two hours were needed to get the old stick out, rewire the new one and get it back in the cockpit.

Still working on the wiring by installing the clamps on the left side. I first have to take outthe EFIS to be get acces to rivet the nutplates.



The D-sub connectors get their shells installed, this is the left EFIS.



When the D-sub connector is in line, I join them by using two zip ties. I then use some adhesive velcro to mount them on a flat surface.

No picture, but I managed to work one hour to begin lacing the harnesses and drilling a few holes for the support clamps.
