I spent a lot of time making sure everything on the wings is ready to go, because tomorrow is "Mounting Day." I drilled out the rivets that were mistakenly installed in the lower root ribs by the Singapore workers who assembled the kit. (These are the holes where the screws and nutplates will go.) I also marked a location 3" outboard of these holes for reference. After the wings are on, this will be the only way to find the holes so I can match-drill the belly skins.
I installed the right fuel line (the one from the fuel selector to the to right wing).
I (mostly) installed the NACA scoop in the right wing. I fabricated a backing ring from 0.20 scrap and drilled about a dozen rivet holes through the wings skin, vent, and backing ring. I countersunk the vent and dimpled the skin, then got ready to rivet and proseal the vent on, but I couldn't find any suitable blind rivets. I'll have to order or borrow some. I'll have to mount the vent after the wings are on.
I prepped the shop and laid out every tool I might need. I also set up the sawhorses, workstands and padding for the cockpit.
Finally, I fabricated the wing incidence-setting tool -- a 3-foot steel ruler with a short piece of pointed aluminum clamped to it that extends downward the required 2-51/64".
Installed the right wing fuel line to the selector valve.
