Brief Description: Getting ready to mount wings....
Well...I decided to stop putting it off and began the preparations to mount the wings. I moved the fuselage sideways in the shop so I will be able to mount both wings. I will, however need to remove the right wing in order to close the garage door. I also had to move my work benches and my drafting table. Next I leveled the fuselage in both directions. I then taped the tail down to the saw horse and taped the sawhorse to the floor. I then got my hardware store temporary bolts. I will use 4 -7/16" bolts for the test fitting (2 on each wing). I also made a couple of drift pin out of a bolt. I just ground a taper on the tip. These will be used to line up the holes as the wings are placed in position. I also checked the holes in the bulkhead and made sure the bolts easily went through both side of the bulkhead (spar). I will need help to get the wings on....I think Wendy has a full day tomorrow, but I think I might be able to get Sam to help, if he is not busy...
The fuselage is turned 90 degrees in the shop and now there is enough room to mount both wings.
The longerons must be perfectly leve to set the wing incidence.
The drift pins are on the left and the 4 temp. mounting bolts are on the right.
