WIth my energy returning, I was able to get some good time in on the wing skeleton today. See how far I got on the wing skeleton tasks in today’s post.
This session was a milestone session where I got to see things come together in a fun way. Although it was quick, seeing the wing skeleton start to come together made things start to feel real!
WIth a sick day keeping me home, I spent some time straightening ribs. With this step, I wrapped up Wing Rib preparation. Check out some of the techniques I used to get it done.
If I never have to straighten a rib flange again, it will be too soon..:). In this post I take you through the process that was oh so exciting.
Before I can get to bending the rib flanges. THere is a tool I need to build. Check out how I did it in this quick post.
With Jess up in Napa for a girls weekend, and me wanting to keep the momentum going on the Rib prep, I decided to take the work home with me. Between movies and volleyball games, I was able to get a lot done.
Jack and I snuck out to the hangar for a couple hours and continued the deburring. I think I need a new mini scotch-brite wheel!
Wing Rib preparation started in earnest today…and it was one heck of a marathon. In this quick post, I celebrate the joys of a single task, repeated over and over.
Finally finished the main and rear spar assembly sections tonight. It feels good to knock out a page of Section 7 (Wing). In this post you’ll learn what is in store for me, now that the spars are done.
Lots of good progress today continuing the replacement tie-down as well as finishing up the Rear Spar Assembly
