Brief Description:  Install wings

Wig install day!
Bolts were frozen before hand
Dollies used with boxes and foam to hold wings in close position
Wires tucked out of way and pitot line in place for attach to safe air bulkheasd fitting

Brenda and I alone installed the wings. Wasnt too difficult. Bolts are greased up and driven in with
hammer and or rivit gun and wood blocks.

Hardest part was tightening down the nuts. Used 3 washers on each of the 1/4 inch bolts and only 2 on the 7/16 bolts. Turns out that I should have used 3 on the 7/17 bolts too. The nut didnt want to tighten up enough with just two. I removed one of the nuts and added a 3rd and tightened down. Much better and I still have 2 threads showing past the nut. Now I just need to remove the other 7 nuts (not easy) and add the washers and re tighten. I also need to torque them all. Ill do that tomorow.

Yay!!!
