Right wing assembly
Hours: 2.2 | Posted in Skin PanelsDusted off the right wing skeleton and dropped the fuel tank in place. It clicked right into the dimples and lined up nicely–all the bolts for the Z-brackets lined right up, save for the inboard-most bracket, which needed a little finagling (as it did on the left wing). Inserted & torqued all the spar-tank bolts, then all the screws. Used a new screwdriver bit, and only managed to mangle two screw heads…gotta get one of those “grippy” bits with the tiny serrations on the tip, maybe those hold on better.
Followed up by clecoing on the top skins, interpolated with plenty of wing-twist measurement checking. All’s good…ready to rivet!
