Brief Description: Wing preparation for wing holddown mounting
I am continuing to clean up tasks for mounting the wing. One item I just haven’t was tapping the wing hold downs. It is a 3/8x16 tap and takes a little time a patience to do. I used Boelube and a tapped by hand continually backing out the tap as required to clean the chips out. No real problem, just make sure to tap the hole at least 1 ½” deep. I also had to drill out some rivets in the bottom out board wing rib for the nutplates that take 8/32 screws for attaching the bottom fuselage skin that overhangs the fuselage side. The wing are ready for insertion and setting the incidence.
