Comments

After cleaning up today I decided to go about making the wing stand. It was a bit confusing as some of the details in the plans were left out, but we managed to figure it out. I did add one 2×4 to this stand that is not called for. It literally is just the scrap of the remaining 2x4x8 piece. This will remaining here till i install the leading edge.

Over the last couple of days I hit a few things on my to-do list. I decided I really didn’t feel like messing around with fiberglass for now and I will have plenty of time for that later. I replaced a few rivets here and there that I didn’t like. I also started redoing the left elevator but the foam blocks did not feel like cooperating. Last night I started the fun process of tearing down the empennage. This morning I laid some blankets down over a room in my shop and had some of my employees help me lift everything up there. The tail cone went up far easier than we thought it would. After that I gave the shop a well deserved clean up.
