Spar is finished (sort of)!

The spar is now completed, however I have mad a large mistake. There is a single ply of bidirectional glass the is placed over the unidirectional strips over the hard points where the wings attach. I could not get peel ply to stick on the BID since it was on the corner, leaving me with a nice and pokey edge.

When I tried to sand it down so I did not cut myself, I accidentally sanded into the UND strips (DOH!). I will sand the layup down and redo it.

Also, the wing jigs are almost complete. I'm running low on Bondo and the extreme heat is causing it to cure even more rapidly than usual, making it very difficult to work with.

More Spar

So the labor of love continues on the main spar.

The aluminum wing attachment points were floxed in place and were glasses over.

The baggage hole was also cut out. It will soon be glasses over. I am using the optional layups

A little bit of everything

Wow! It is so much easier to work on the project since it is right outside the door! I now have the right side consoles ready to be glassed, a handy map hole (still needs a touch of final sanding), and 2/3 of the wing templates.

Also those pesky nose blocks were cut out. I was amazed to find that they were complete chunks of urethane foam.
