(no title)
After spending the weekend in Portland, I was able to do a few things when we got back on Sunday afternoon. All the way driving down and back, I kept thinking about how it would be a one hour flight in an RV-7 rather than a boring 3 hour drive.
I decided to move the wing stand a bit. Kind of a hassle, since I already had the wing all perfectly straight. However, I don’t think there was enough room between the post and the wing at the root end. I put the bracket on the outside of the post at that end instead of the inside. I was kind of limited in where I could put the posts, because of the rafter spacing. But then a brilliant thought hit me (well, at least a useful thought). I figured out that I could put the wing stand on a diagonal and put the posts wherever I want. So I put them 114″ inches apart as suggested in the plans, put the wing back on the stand, and got it all straight. Getting it straight the second time was much easier for some reason. This shows the free access to the inner-most rib.
I drilled the holes in the wing walk doubler.
I also clecoed on the bottom skins, drilled, moved the clecos, and drilled the remaining holes.
