Unintended Adventures

Starting the Wings

I’m going to be assembling the wings first. It starts out by attaching a few plates, channels, and doublers to the wing. Beefing it up in places and setting the attach points for the wing structure to be built on. Pretty straightforward but also unnerving to drill into a big tube of aluminum that would be fairly expensive to replace (I assume at least). This also is where I have screwed up my first part. I had hoped to prolong this occurrence for most of the build, but it happened. Luckily it is a small part.

Mine and Maria’s schedule finally matched up to work some on the plane and she got to drill a few holes and put some rivets in. We’ve still got some organizing to do, but it is all going together very nicely.

    Good job!! I suppose that the tool box on the first pic is the one which almost kill you…
    I saw that you hired a worker to help you, is she good at it ? jk.

    • That is the culprit and yes, the help is good and wages are low.
