Brief Description:  Right wing test fitting to fuselage

Slid the hoist frame under the right wing which was sitting on a couple of work tables. Attached straps to frame and hoist hook. After a few strap adjustments, it appeared the wing would hoist in approximately the correct orientation. Hoisted the wing and slid the fuselage into position (its on vehicle dollies). It quickly became obvious some trimming of the inboard skin would be necessary to get any kind of a fit. Began a series of incremental trimming and test fits that took quite a while. Mostly the forward tip of the wing root skin needed to be trimmed back to clear the cabin frame and the inboard trailing edge trimmed to allow the rear wing spar to overlap the attach bracket. An AN6 bolt hole will get drilled there, so adequate overlap is essential. This is just an initial fitting, so I mainly eyeballed it. I may find I need to do more trimming when I do final positioning once both wings are ready to go. Finally got the spar attachments lined up and was able to insert a 3/8" junker bolt in place (don't want to use the AN6 for these trials) on the front attach point. Lowered the wing back onto the tables. Made another hoist frame for the left wing since this system seemed to work well. Moved the overhead square pipe and hoist to left side of fuselage.
