Wing metal work

Tonight I completed a couple of steps on the wings. I countersunk the holes in the rear spar where the flap gap fairing attaches, dimpled the access hatch doubler, and enlarged the holes in the landing light mounts.

Wing systems hole enlarging

Tonight I used my step drill to up-size two sets of wing system holes in the left wing. one will carry the AOA and Pitot pneumatic lines, and the other will carry the addition wiring for the pitot heating unit.

Circled in red are the holes I enlarged, arrows indicating that the holes are in each rib extending to the wing root

New Wings Arrive

My first set of Quickbuild wings had some corrosion, and bad primer, and I sent them back to Vans for replacement. Today the new set of Quickbuild wings arrived, and were safely stowed inside the garage.

I still need to receive an order from Vans with some replacement parts before I can really get started with these.
