    Default 7 Sept 2022 - Left Wing & Right Wing

    Locate and fit remaining top false ribs on left wing. Number for reassembly after spar is prepped for bonding.

    Remove trailing edge from right wing. Begin to remove the excess Hysol from between capstrips. This Hysol which had been generously applied while bonding trailing edge to seal the wood now interferes with installing the flaperon hinge brackets to the trailing edge which the flaperons attach.

    Spoke with Brandon, he advises when he builds up a wing he will place the trailing edge, install flaperon hinge brackets, and install trailing edge support tubes in the trailing edge at the same time. This prevents cured adhesive from interfering with the installation of another component.

    Completed rigging square, sweep, dihedral, and washout.

    2 full 12+ hour days and lots of pacing later the wings are correctly set.

    Special Thank You to Alex M. for creating an amazing set of jigs to accomplish the task.
