We worked on the right side wing this weekend. You could think of that as the copilot side
but if the plane is right side up and flying forwards, this wing will be on the right side of the plane.
Ordered some new parts for the wing and the vertical fin reinforcement kit
Installed the bow eye mounting plate which arrived with some wing parts we ordered.
Varnished the inboard wing ribs
here’s a diagram of how the ribs are attached
Started installing the wing ribs
Each rib is a different length
Mark the lengths, drill and cleco
Got the inboard wing rib on, need to measure from there
Run strings at 7 and 11 inches from the leading edge.
Ribs should just touch the strings.
DiveRite penetration reel works for a string!
Installed the wing cuff support angle and secondary angle
Starting to look more like a wing with the top ribs.
