Manual Reference:  Wings
Brief Description:  Review of Manual

Spent 2 hours reviewing the manual and all the steps completed so far. Still lots to do since this is a total rebuild of the wings. Since the Left front spar was damaged and the ribs wer not eopoxied properly by the original kit owner, it has been a long process.

The doublers i made were ruined by a vendor who said he could roll them into the proper curve and powder coat them. He ended up crimping them down the center in a V not a curve. I think that in itself set us back more than a month.

We did however, through Mykitlog get a message from a felow Ridge Runner builder who happens to be a Machinist. He already had tooling he made for his own project for the doublers. He made a set and we should have them in hand by mid week. From the photos he provided, they look great! Once they are installed, we can set the Root Ribs, Butt Ribs and install the fuel tanks.

Once we get these items completed, we will begin the Flaps and Ailerons. I look forward to getting all the pulleys and cables run. It will mean several more weekends in the driveway in the harsh Florida sun but, the end result will be worth it.
