Preparing wing mating
Catégorie: Wings : Final assembly

Wing mating is expected in the next days. But before a few tasks have to be done :
- find the drawings for the wing, the flaps and the ailerons
- take the flaps and ailerons out of storage, prepare associated hardware
- fabricate a drilling guide for the rear spar
- fabricate the spacer as shown in the plans to measure the wing incidence
- prepare the bolts for both spars
- mark the rear spar fork for the allowed spot for drilling, the center of the hole will have to be in the little square



- install the fuel tank brackets



-install the rod ends for the flaps. To insert the bolt I had to remove the whole assembly as the gap between the skin on the left and the part was too small.



- begin drilling the holes in the fuselage for the flap rod, the hole will be enlarged once the flaps are installed



- take the wings out of storage
- mark the holes that will receive screws, the holes will be hidden behind the fuselage skin which has to be drilled accordingly




- protect the engine
After all this, the weather didn't look that good so the wing mating was postponed.
