Finished attaching the lift strut brackets on both wings.This shows the lift strut attached and ready to install on the fuselage.The fuselage has been leveled and the wings attached. Shown is the right wing with the #1 rib bonded in place.Here is the left side with the #1 rib bonded. After the hysol has cured the wing sweep, dihedral and washout are checked again.I set the fuel tanks in place and decided to trim the flanges so that it was parallel to the #3 rib. I did this to both tanks then sanded a little where the tanks contact the spars to get them so they set flat on both spars.Same thing on both sides.I will leave a gap so that there is room to rib stitch the #3 rib. After I was finished fitting the tanks I pressure tested them, no leaks! Sloshing is also done.Here is a view of the butt ribs with an aluminum strip bonded on the underside of the upper cap strips. This reinforces the windshield attachments.I purchased the pre-fab kit. These art he jury strut brackets that needed some work. Rounded off the ends and drilled the appropriate size holes and of course deburred them. Next task is to fit the butt ribs.
And Now For A Little Assembly
