Brief Description: Tested fit of 1202-L skin and stall warning assemb
Absolutely beautiful day here today - went flying up the Hudson river beside NY City and up to Sky Acres for breakfast with a collague from work. No wind, no clouds, spectacular flying weather.
After arriving home mid early afternoon, finally tested fit of the skin that has the opening for the stall warning vane. Perfect fit. This Van's kit never ceases to amaze me. Spencer helped cleco the skin for the fit.
Afterwards, Spencer and I removed all the skins from the overhead loft that we thought were needed for the left wing. These are big sheets so we needed to be very deliberate when moving them around to minimize risking any damage. We shifted the spar and rib assembly from the plywood sheet it was sitting on, to directly sitting on two saw horses. We put the right spar on the floor/2X4s and set up the plywood onto two other saw horses in order ot work the skins on them. I'm taking up more of fhe garage that I had hoped, but these parts are large. Will need to finiish up this kit before the snows come later this fall.

Next step is to cover this skeleton with the left wing sheets
