Left Wing Shear Web

Laid the shear web for the left wing in 3.5 hours. That's 1.5 hours less than it took us on the right wing! Our handiwork looks a little better too.

New Nose Bulkheads

I've been looking through other build logs for awhile. I've also known that I want to cut off the unfinished nose to replace it with a longer one. Ary J. Glantz's modification is my favorite, and he included the templates on his site to boot!

The two bulkheads and the baby NG-30s were all glasses on one side with BID tonight. They'll receive the same on the other side as well.

Below the shear web

LWA4's, LWA6, and W18's are attached to wing over access hole. I went ahead and cut the shear web glass, and I covered them with a garbage bag to make sure no dust gets to it.

Finished manufacturing of the cs127 bellcrank assembly. I actually built it backwards, had to take it apart, and reassembled it.

NOTE: the distance between the two aluminum plates on the edge that hold the bearing in the middle is crucial! They MUST have AMPLE space between them!
Learned that the hard way.

Aileron hinges finally installed. Hammering the ends flat per plans didn't work; rod was to brittle. Took a Cessna approach and bended the ends.

Now onto hooking up the aileron control linkage.

Left wing jig

Left wing jig finished. Just barely had enough bondo.
