Oh boy! The second wing is now totally enclosed. This is the last large wing layup. I can pretty much do all others by myself from here. Top skin down in exactly 3 hours!

Happy st. Patrick's day! Just remember: 8 hours between bottle and throttle!

I made some small metal parts including the internal rudder bellhorn assembly insides and a canopy safety latch. Don't laugh too hard at my machining skills.





Then, I routed the rudder conduit trough...



And then I sanded down the trailing edge (not totally yet).




Finally, I got a shipment from ACS with the goods for the winglets:





Hopefully, top skin will be put down on Saturday.

It was a double whammy weekend. Laid the bottom skin on Saturday, then the top spar cap on Sunday.

Laid the bottom spar cap in an hour exactly! What an improvement from 2 hours on the right wing!

The wing needs to lay flat in order to layup the spar cap. My mom poked a hole in her shirt when she helped flip it.

The right wing was in the way and it needed to be moved. We loaded it up and took it to the garage where we keep the big, completed pieces (spar, main gear, and canard). It all fits nicely on the side of the garage.
