Brief Description:  Wings - redrill

Today I redrilled the attach angles. As you recall the drill went off center on both sides the first time. I remade the attach blocks .. this time drilling them in steps on the drill press. Then attached them at each step with the wings bolted together off the plane. I made sure the holes were straight and in good shape ... they were. So the blocks were at 3/8ths.
I'd already fit the new attach angles to the plane. Next I put the wings back in the plane, pinned them together thru the 3 tooling holes and very carefully adjusted everything to where it needed to be. I then set the wings down on the longerons on each side and measured the distance to the floor at each wing tip. I then lifted one side to make them both the same. Next I drilled thru the wing block holes through the two forward attach angles. I then put in the aft attach angles and marked each through the holes from the front. I took those off and drilled them to 3/8 in steps on the drill press and put them back on. Everything fit perfect with a snug fit on both bolts. Had I done it this way in the first place I'd of saved some grief. Next is getting the rear apar carry thru installed. Then on to closing the tunnel and installing the landing gear. I had to order more rivets for the tunnel .. there weren't enough.
