Baby Steps to an RV-8

Date:  7-23-2013
Number of Hours:  1.00
Manual Reference:  Sect. 7
Brief Description:  Z-Brackets (cont'd)

Mounted and match-drilled the inboard Z-Bracket. Bolted down as I drilled each hole for good alignment. Probably overkill. That took me a while for some reason. Seems very simple now but I'm slow getting back into things here.

Next I drilled the center of the first outboard bracket. Will continue that tomorrow night. So far so good!

Also did some research on the wing ribs. I alodyned them and was worried that I screwed that up. Apparently it's no problem, with some even saying that it's something you SHOULD do with some of the newer fuels out there. I don't know; as soon as those guys start talking about fuels specs I lose interest in the technical details. I do have some touch up spots of zinc chromate that I'll have to get off though. As I trimmed the forward edge of each to conform to the wing skin I touched up with zinc. Hopefully some lacquer thinner will get that off.
