I continued with the LHS wing tip mounting. Firstly more trimming was needed. |
|
Dad continued with the HS mounting. First up we mounted and measured (and re-measured) the alignment. |
|
In the end Dad pilot drilled the inboard locations to #30 off the fuselage. |
|
And then used the angle drill to pilot the HS locations. |
|
I worked up from the bottom (leading edge of the wing) back, top first, then the underside. |
|
Dad supported the tip surface from inside |
|
All mounted with #40s. |
|
These were then opened up for the 3/16 bolts |
|
I finished with the simple job of opening up the holes to #30s. The finished results looks ok although the LE join between the metal skin and 'glass tip will need some filler / work. |
|
The end result looks OK. The edge distance looks tight but it should all pull up OK. |
|
HS front spar drilled. Tomorrow get the incidence sorted and maybe the VS..... As per usual everything seems to take much longer than expected (wanted). |
