Brief Description:  Wing details

Pressed the bushings into the rod ends (rod ends from Wicks are for 1/4" bolts, bushing brings them to 3/16") as depicted on the plans. Ran the emery cloth inside the end of the short aileron pushrod in order to fit the bushing inside (bushing rotates inside this one, not pressed tight). Assembled the rod end for the long pushrod and the short pushrod onto the bellcrank, so the LH wing is good to go for the internal welded parts. Ran the bushing for the short pushrod on the belt sander to shorten it per plans. Didn't take very long. That bushing material is pretty soft. Started disassembling the wing - removed the wing root doubler (both pieces), the leading edge skin, and the forward ribs. Deburred the LE skin, trimmed the lower aft edge (left long for the bending), and dimpled the skin at the rib holes using the Avery c-frame dimpler.
