A couple of weeks ago I completed temporarily bonding the wing jigs to the floor of the shop with Bondo. Care was taken to ensure that the templates were lined up, level and square. In the photo you can see, if you look close, the red laser line that I used to allign all of the templates.
After the wing jigs were bonded to the floor I test fitted the foam cores. This was not an easy task because the fit was very tight, especially on the training edge. I used a tip from another builder and didn't bond the upper jigs to the floor. That allowed me to unbolt the upper section to allow the cores to more easily slide into place.
Next the leading foam core sections and wing jigs were removed to allow access to the shear web area.
Finally today I bonded the three aft foam cores together with micro. Next up is to fabricate the aluminum hard points that will correspond with the hard points installed in the center section spar.
