Good Monday Morning, Got alot done over teh weekend and I am in good shape for tomorrows inspection.

Wings are built with just a little riveting to go.

Time to Start on the Stabilizer.
By 4 pm on Monday I have just about everything done, and I am off to be a Guest speaker for an RAA chapter. Wings are done and mostly riveted, fuel system and electric system is installed. Slats and Flapperons are built. Stabilizer is finished I will return after the meeting to chromate and rivet the stabilizer. The rudder is done, the only thing left is the elevator for the morning, the inspector from the MD-RA is arriving at 11:30 am and I will also need to clean the floor a bit and push out the 701 so I ahve room to display all the parts for the inspector. It has been a long 4 1/2 days since I started on the flying structures, I had some help in de-burring and chromating as well as the riveting from Lynn and Lisa.
Everything looks great, the 0.020 skins on the wings sit perfectly flat and look awesome. Though I thought that the wings would only take a day and a half each, they turned out to be two days work each. Very impressive nonetheless.
