Wing Prep

Bought some 3/8 aluminum tubing.035 wall thickness. Cut to length to fit into each trailing edge. These pieces are bonded in place to stiffen the trailing edge so that when the fabric is shrunk the trailing edge won’t be distorted.

Here is a pic of where the aluminum is placed.

Got some supplies from Aircraft Spruce. The green “stuff” is Torque Seal. All of the control rods and bellcrank are torqued to spec so this is a visual aid for quick inspection.

Easy to see if the nuts come loose. Next up is to cover the wings. I have my work area ready and all of the supplies at hand. Excited to move onto the covering process.
