Wings - Part VI

Coronaviris... good for building!

We were planning on Spring Break in California.  Well that didnt work out...  So kept the 2 weeks of vacation and got a lot of stuff done around the house and on the wings.

The flap track attach angles took me months.  They are a royal PITA.



Cut them to length on the table saw.  Marked out the cuts and make them (with a wide margin) on the bandsaw.  Then use a spindle sander to get the inside radius on the angles.  Then it was a file, sand paper and steel wool to get them finished.




Getting them located was interesting and a bit challenging... But got them done.




Now onto riveting the lower skins.


Jigged up lefthand wing.  And then it begins...





Still a couple more hours to get the last of the rivets into the left hand lower skin... Then its onto the lower right skins...
