11/10/2013 - 5 hours, 242 hours total. I was able to put some time in on Friday and Sunday. All of the riveting for the bottom-side left wing is complete. I'll need to enlist some help to flip the wing over to continue the build.
Primed the lower middle left wing panel. As you can see, I'm only priming the contact areas of the wing.
Picture of the wing assembly, mid-section, just prior to installing the above panel.
Also, primed the outer edge of the inboard and outboard panel where the middle panel mates.
Ready to flip and start working on the top-side
11/03/2013 - One year ago today, I placed the first kit order for the tail-kit.
8 hours, 237 hours total. Work began in earnest to begin installing the wing panels. Before I started that I replaced the two wire connectors damaged in the previous post. I then spread out a little so I could access the left wing. The wing in the foreground is now in the covered back patio. House rules- wife's car needs to fit in the garage.
This is a view of the inboard, left wing, bottom side. There are approximately 450 rivet locations in this panel alone. I final drilled all the holes, deburred the holes, and then primed the interior side of the panel. I did the same with the outboard panel. The center panel is ready for final drill.
Outboard review
Bottom side access panel near the stall warning device.
View inboard with new connector installed.
Riveting comes next......I'll rivet the inner panel, then final drill the center panel and debur, and then complete all bottom side riveting. Could be a couple of weeks before I get that done. We have visitors next weekend- good friends, and then a trip to check in on mom the following weekend.
