This is my XL wing kit sitting on shelves made by the crate sides. The rear
skins are still on the crate bottom (which will soon be my bench top).
|
This is about the only interesting piece of the flap. This is a plastic
control plate on the inboard side of the inboard rib.
|
Here you see the flap clecoed. Most of these are #40s, but final drilling
will bring them all to #20s.
|
This is the aileron with way too many clecos in it. There is a slight twist
in the aileron, so I used a cleco per hole while drilling. In the background,
you see the right spar and some rear ribs.
|
This is not a very good picture, but this is the right flap and the right aileron
sitting side by side.
|
This is the aileron bellcrank attached to the #7 rear rib. There is a big doubler
on the inboard side of the rib. Also, you see a rear rib with the walkway
doubers attached (not sure which this is, but it is either #1, #2, #3, or #4).
|
Now that looks like an airplane part! It is the right spar with the nose ribs
clecoed in place.
|
There I am, hiding behind a drill. Cameron is hiding behind me.
|
It never hurts to have an extra 5 eyes.
|
There I am, still hiding. Cameron got caught this time though!
|
Kermit is once again keeping me in line. If you remember, Kermit
is the one that hauled my wings home on that crapy, rainy, foggy, icy day.
THANKS AGAIN!!!

Here is the bottom of the wing all drilled up. Most of the holes still need
drilled up to #20. Keeping them undersize leaves me a little breathing room
just in case (see wings log for 3/11).
