No pictures.
I used this weekend to move all my flight surfaces to the airport with the wings.
I then made another trip to move my tools.
Pretty much everything other than my bandsaw, bench sander, grinder are at the hangar.
It is a little bit of a problem because there is only limited power, light, and heat there. I put up decent lighting, I have a 3500 watt honda generator, and I am heating with propane.
Next week, on 2/3 I am getting some of the EAA guys to help with a wing hanging party.
Today, I spent the day prepping for the 2/3 group. I was just about done, when I realized that the tank support bracket was in the wrong row of rivets! On one drawing it shows as the 9th row from the spar, on the other, the 10th row. AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH.
I had to go home, manufacture a new set of support angles, go back to the airport, take the tank brackets apart, put the new angle in the airplane (under the dash - not a good job for big guys), and rehang the bracket.
It actually only took about 2 hours to fix, and I probably could have done it later in the week, but I wasn't sure how long it'd take, and with the 2/3 deadling, I didn't want to stress about it.
Fixed now.
