26th April 2010 - Basic assembly of the left wing

Yesterday I positioned the left wing ribs onto the main and rear spars, drilled and screwed the inner leading edge and aileron spar into position and glued the spar root doublers and bushings into place. Today I drilled the main spar attach bracket to the spar. You can see the yellow swarf in the foreground that comes from drilling through the phenolic linen bushes - strange stuff!
I'm going to be busy over the next two to three weeks so not likely to make much progress but this will give me a chance to do some planning of the next steps as I want to make sure the wings align correctly to the fuselage before closing them up.
