Chapter 19 - Wings - Part 9

Last Saturday Marc Oppelt ( http://sites.google.com/site/garagerocket/ ) stopped by and helped me hot wire the left wing. For the most part the whole operation went very smoothly. Sunday night I bonded the foam cores to gather to make up the 5 individual cores now ready for jigging and shear web. The second wing is now well on its way to completion.

Chapter 19 - Wings - Part 8

The right wing has been put away for some time to clear the shop for preparations for the left.

I have not completed the right wing, most notably the aileron and glassing the wing root area.

Before beginning work on the left wing I made new wing jigs that I just finished off today. My first wing jigs were made with crappy plywood and I was just not happy with them. I purchased a better grade plywood and I am a little happier with the new jigs.

Another development with the project occurred last weekend when I picked up a used Varieze cowl. While the cowl is beautifully made it will not work, at least without a lot of modifications. It was a gamble that may not have paid off. Still it may work for me. I will hold on to it until the time comes to decide what direction I should take with the cowl.

I will hot wire cut the left wing as soon as I can secure some assistance.
