Brief Description:  More wing fitting work

Tonight I was in the shop alone, so I could not do any real wing manipulation to set the wing sweep and incidence. So, I tried to get the project ready for those tasks. First, I replaced the wing "drift pin" bolts with standard hardware store bolts so that I could tighten the nuts to specs. We don't use the final close tolerance bolts that come with the kit for this fitting because they are so tight that the cadmium plating would be scraped off with all the in and out necessary. That took quite some time because the wing bolts are very tight. Next, I fit 4 plumb bobs to the leading edges of the wings so that we can set them to zero sweep. I have to go to the hardware store and pick up 4 more 1/4" bolts to complete the center section bolt up. Then I can finish the process of manipulating the wings to the correct sweep and angle of incidence.
