Chapter 19 - Wings - Part 5

Found some time today to do a little more work on the wings.

I finnished routing out the wing attachment depressions with my Dremel tool and sandpaper. These depresseions will later house the wing attachment nuts and allow space for a ratchet. I followed this with 2 layers of bid fiberglass. I will knife trim the exess glass tonight after the expoxy has set up enough.


Next I finnished fabricating the two LWA4s and LWA6 for this wing. These were then treated with Alumiprep and Alodine.


Finnaly I bonded the LWA6 with bondo. The smaller LWA4s will be bonded in place after I have trimed the wing attach depressions of the excess glass.

Intermission

I have not had a lot of spare time these last few months. Washington state's fiscal year ends on June 30 and this time of year is especially busy for me at work.

I just got back from a trip to the Arlington airshow and saw some really cool aircraft and I am anxious to continue my own project.

Thanks to all who check in on my build blog on a regular basis.

More build updates to come soon.
