Test wing assembly

Postby Sonex1517 » Sun Jan 01, 2012 7:22 pm

I couldn't resist.

Today I moved the wing ribs into the (newly insulated) garage, unpacked the spars, and did a test assembly of the left wing. Very motivational!

A very long way to go and lots of stuff to do just to get to the point of really assembling the wings, but wow! It felt good to step back and look at this...

Looks great Robbie! Get that aft spar done and get that thing riveted together so you can start squaring the wing frame and start skinning the wings! :)

Keep up the good work!

Nice! I'm hoping to get to the point of having something motivational to post again soon.
