Brief Description:  1. Check Sweep, fuel vent lines

A nice long day in the shop today, a accomplished a lot but there is also much more to the wings than it would seem. I stared by shooting the laser level to measure the wing sweep, the leading edges should be right in line with one another. I looking at this because it was one part of the fitting I did not look at closely, some of my helpers where doing this when I was drilling or on to other things. Because I did not see it I had to prove to myself they are straight. Well they are not they have a very slight sweep forward, but thankfully both are the same which is more important. After consulting with some experts I am told to leave well enough alone as this is well within tolerance. I just hate that I did not check this when fitting them.

I continued with the work of fitting the wings by making the fuel lines that attach the tank vent line to the vent line that runs thought the cockpit and out the bottom of the floor. This actually went faster than I thought. I guess all those fuel lines I made and threw way when doing the main fuel lines taught me something.

Laser line goes from wing tip to tip.  Not Picture but plumb bob at the wing root fall just forward.
