Big day today (Tue, Oct 14). Was laid off today, AND got my wings back on the Sportsman!
Such a great bunch of folks at Langley Regional Airport. 8 people showed up to help. 35 min start to finish.
And my friend flew his RV6A today for the first time.
Now I have clear runway for a TON of stuff to get done.
Fuel sender wiring underway, fuel lines connected, fuel filler necks installed, and antenna installed.
Crossover cables connected, but not yet tensioned.
Wing umbilicals fed through and connected. Cleaned up the wiring for the inboard tank sensors.
First landing / taxi light installed. Just need to put the pins in the connector (once I remember how I wired it... luckily I have documentation).
4 outboard strut attach bolts installed and torqued. Total pain in the rear. Using the clevis bolts inboard for tie down points.
Progress is so slow.... life is getting in the way - but I have a bunch of stuff I can work on.
Inboard delta wings installed.
Plan is the install the pins in the forward spar for good!
Flaps are connected. Need to tweak the tension a bit, but everything works well.
Ailerons next.
Forward spar pins installed!
Lights attached and wired.
Pilot side door getting its final silpruf.
Spinner!
Lots more to come...
