Brief Description:  Left wing test fit to fuselage

Essentially repeated the right wing prep and trimming on the left wing. Started by cutting the trailing edge access opening as was done on the right wing. I did not initially cut a bolt access hole in the wing root as I wanted to see if I could get it done using the limited access provided. For some reason, this wing needed a bit more trimming than the right in order to get the front and rear attach locations to line up. I ended up shaving off some bottom inboard skin to get a good rear fit which was not needed on the right wing. I still had to trim the inboard nose skin and trailing edge to get a reasonable fit. I could not get the front bolt to go through using the access provided, so I added a bolt access hole similar to the right wing. Finally got the bolt to go through from the front after cleaning out the hole.

I wasn't looking forward to repeatedly moving the overhead hoist and beam from wing to wing, so I decided there had to be a better way. Since the right wing was already sitting on work tables, I added risers to those tables. A cross beam between the risers is held in place with clamps, making the support adjustable to just about any orientation the wing needs to be aligned to. Between the hoist and these tables, I think I'm just about ready to put both wings in play for final fitting.
