FINALLY

Post by hydroguy2 »

I found some motivation and warmed up the shop. Spent several hours rearranging the shop and figuring out what to do next. With no money for major components, I decided I would finish up the wings and get them mounted. They have been sitting in the rack for tooo long. First I whipped up some delrin aileron stops on the lathe.

Then drilled/installed bushings for A/P wiring and pulled strobe wires. Followed this by laying out and cutting rear spar attachpoint to size.

Felt good to be back in the shop. Of course then I came in to update my Kitlog, only to find out it is all FUBAR'd from my hard drive crash I suffered a month ago. :bang:

I'm going to do the same thing on my wings Brian, it seems like such a better method than the plans method.
