Last wing skin glued up with nailer strips on.
|
Removing nailer strips from dry wing. Left some nails behind as usual. I needed thicker nailer strips. The wood was too soft.
|
|
Last wing skin glued on! A big milestone to me.
|
|
Priming before starting. Started up on the first try like usual.
|
|
Happy to be in the cockpit of something I built!
|
|
Canopy closed. Ready to go.
|
|
Panel before I start up.
|
A bit clearer picture of the panel.
|
Aileron hinge mounting detail.
|
|
Looking at the wing from the bottom. Sighting along aileron.
|
Completed hinge detail. You cannot get screw to sit flat on a curved surface. Duh!
|
Inboard termination of aileron. A tube slides in to this end and controls movement. Need to mount wing on plane first. I can't wait!
|
|
Outboard end of aileron. Lead ballast mount shown sticking up. Aileron is pointed straight down.
|
Backed up to show mounted aileron on right and soon to be installed aileron on left.
|
I clamp the aileron hinges in place where I want it to sit. Then I drill each hinge one at a time.
|
|
Moved clamp up so I can drill holes. I make the hinge strap long intentionally so this is easier to do.
|
Hinges clamped down even after holes are drilled. I put pins in the new holes so they won't move much.
|
Pin in new hole. It's just a bent over nail.
|
|
Tapping chrome moly tubing is hard! You won't break as many taps if you line things up perfectly and use lots of cutting oil. And predrill center hole with a #21 bit for 10-32 screws.
|
Put screw in sleeve when you tap it into the wing. Protects sleeve.
