Brief Description:  Wings Installed

Matt Koenig and his sons Nick and Alex met me at the hangar to put on the wings. Considering the task at hand, it went pretty smooth, except for me leaving the fuel lines at home. Matt was kind enough to drive home (:25 ea way) and get them while I made other preparations.
Using a technique I read somewhere, probably VAF.net, I used the rivet gun with a mushroom set to 'help' the close tolerance bolts through the centersection and into the wing spar - much easier than the rubber mallet!
Matt and Nick did a alot of the heavy lifting on the wing tip and Alex did rear spar duty and helped with the hardware. Thanks guys!
Happy to have them on for good! Much more to do....
