Brief Description:  Skinning the bottom inboard section of the wings

This is definately one of the most enjoyable parts of building an RV. My buddy Mike Cencula came over and helped me put the inboard bottom wing skins on. It is just so cool to see it all come together. Mike is building a 7A and does beautiful work. Also, Rick Blaes dropped by (RV-4 builder/pilot). Rick works at "the Jet" flying Hawkers. I'm trying to talk him into building a -10 to go with his hotrod -4.

We made good progress with no big issues, I mis-aligned the bucking bar a couple of time and dinged the skin slightly - should be almost unnoticable in the finished product. It took about 2 hrs per panel (L/R). I can't wait to finish the wings skins next weekend (hopefully). In the mean time I plan to finish the elevator trim tab and build the wing storage cradle.
