Default Thanks for the pic

I am following Bruce Hill’s blog and replaced that rivet with a flush one during the fuse build. At the time, I had no idea why this was needed, but now I know. Thanks for the pict and thank you Bruce for the heads up.

Mike - Fantastic - thanks for sharing your results and pics. I'm building some temporary supports for my wings this weekend, then going recruiting for some help with the installation. Fingers crossed.

Congratulations. Also the wing root fairings.

OK, I think all the jobs I can do are done while the wings are on. Here's what was completed:

? Fuel tank bracket (where does one safety to?)
? Main fuel line attached
? Fuel vent line fabricated
? Wing root fairings (Thanks Larry)
? Flaps fitted
? Ailerons rigged

I think that's it. Holler if there something I'm missing.

Default Wing tips

If ailerons and flaps are rigged, install the wing tips.

Interesting...I was going to wait on the wingtips until I get geared up for fiberglass.

Did your wingtips have to be modified to fit the wing? I assumed they would but getting them fitted now is tempting
