Brief Description: Spar inspection, set up
|
|
Tonight I did a good inspection on the wing spars to make sure there was no damage from transit, and found them to be perfect. The spars come assembled from the factory and are a work of art! I made sure I was well oriented with the spars and then marked them left, right, top, bottom, front, back, etc. Like the book says, you don't want to build a wing upside down!!
I also organized the shop some, cut a new plywood shelf for my shelves holding all the hardware as the pressboard one was bowing and I was afraid all my rivets and screws would come spilling out one day. I labels some more hardware bins and put up some of the wing hardware.
Finally I tinkered with a few of the nutplates for the tank attachment, and got the countersink cage set properly so I can begin that job in earnest during my next session.
