| After fitting the wingtip closeout ribs and double checking, I filled them w/ SuperFil for improved aesthetics. Unfortunately when I |
|
| went out to remount them after sanding them flush. THEY WOULD NOT FIT !?!?!?!?! Something happened with the addition of |
|
| the Superfil to expand the area so that they will no longer fit between the wing skins, and I'm back to where I was before I |
|
| replaced them!!!!!! Put them aside for now - Too frustrating..... Want to mount and drill the wings but it's been too rainy the past |
|
| few days. hopefull tomorrow we can get at least one done. Meantime I completed as much of Sec 44 as possible, forming the |
|
| lower wing root fairings and riveting the stiffeners to the upper fairings. I also completed some misc tasks on the cowl where I |
|
| replaced the upper hinge pins with .090" dia. somehow, I missed this in the plans because I did the James cowl, but I was |
|
| REALLY frustrated trying to get the .12" ss pins installed. I had to do some 'adjustment to the hinges but I've to both sides |
|
| installed, I also put the pin 'locking' fixture in place, it will require some fine tuning and adjustment and some longer screws b4 |
|
| going to paint. Replaced the 'locking clips in the Camlocs for the oil access door, and I borrowed Dad's polisher & polished the |
|
| interior door handles while visiting Mom & Dad last night. |
