Brief Description:  Wing Bolts and washers prepped.

The wings are due to be installed at 10am tomorrow. Again, my friend James Bailey will be there to help out as well as my mechanic, Casey. The 3 of us should easily be able to get them on in less than an hour. To help, I've prepped those hard to reach nuts by supergluing the proper washers on their backside, then wrapping them in tape which keep them INSIDE the socket while maneuvering them inside the recessed cavity. After they are on enough to hold the wing, the tape will be removed and the nuts torqued to spec. I also lowered the nose a bit and installed the correct incidence washers on each bolt. The angle will keep them from coming off during install. I then sprayed them good with Corrosion X. In a perfect world I will only need to remove them when it comes time to paint and not in the event that the airplane doesn't fly straight. That would be the highlight of the entire build!! a straight airplane needing no trim! We will see in a matter of weeks!
