Brief Description: Wings finally in
|
|
Today I was pretty much by myself, but did get a bit of timely help from volunteers at the airport. At the suggestion of Sammy Bereznak, I brought one of my jack stands and a jack, to align the wing roots with the wing fairings. That was very good advice. The left wing was fully pushed in when I started today, but was misaligned vertically a bit, preventing the mounting holes from aligning. The jack stand solved that issue, along with some lifting and tugging. I got the first of two 3/4 inch bolts in myself, and got the other in with just a bit of judicious wing tip jiggling with a helper. Those are the main spar bolts, which go through both spar webs and both spar stubs, so four holes must align. After that, with about five minutes of jiggling the wing tips by Stan Ward, I got the forward wing support bolts in. I'll finish installing the washers, nuts and cotter pins next work day. I also hooked up the right wing fuel lines and fuel sender wires. Finally today I temporarly bolted the flaps to the flap actuator torque tube.
