Brief Description:  Wing miscellaneous

I wasn't sure how to title this session, as I didn't work on any one thing in any one area.
I started by scuffing the metal around the right wing NACA scoop (I believe it provides cool air to the rear seat). Next was to mix some pro seal and glue the scoop to the inside of the inboard right lower wing skin - that's a mouth full! That went pretty well although, at 30F it will take days for that to cure out. I then turned my attention to riveting the pitot tube doubler to the bracket I fabricated that ties it to the nearest rib (see photo). I then checked the wing alignment and everything was perfect. Then I cleco'd the left wing inboard skin in place (I'll have to remove some of these I believe to bend the skin back to get to some of the rivets.). Then I ran some fishing line down each conduit so I can pull wires at a later date. I used a cotton swab tied to the end of the fishing line and compressed air to blow it down the conduit (worked like a charm). I'm happy to get alot of this little stuff done. Also, I combined photos below since this program limits each entry to 3.
