An all-day Saturday effort at the hangar yielded a ton of results as I finished up the spar assembly and it's just about ready for skinning.
Clips were separated and riveted, Ribs were prepped and deburred (a bunch need to be trimmed at the nose).
The bracket assembly was bolted in placde (the .023 wide spacers were just perfect).
And the hinge pins were cut and holes drilled and I'm now fitting them to HS skin.
After 7 hours, though, I was tired and starting to drag and if there's one thing I've learned is that when the brain starts slowing down (I worked right through lunch), it's time to stop.
As usual, there were several gasps during the session as I continue to marvel at the Van's tooling.
