Aileron Hinge/BellCrank Attachment

After a brief hiatus on building we finally got back out in the garage on our build.  We found we still needed to up-drill and ream the the hinge brackets to 5/16".  After completing that task, we precisely located (9.5" from trailing edge to hinge point) the two hinges and middle bellcrank on the left aileron.  They were clamped in place using worm hose clamps and drilled for rivets.  The parts were temporarily cleco'd until the other aileron and flaps are complete.  Hours: 2

Attended Superflite workshop

Michael and I attended a workshop on aircraft fabric and painting using the Superflite system. The 2 day workshop was held in Brasstown, NC.  Learned a lot and we were very happy with how these test parts (gear legs) turned out in the end. Hours: 12

Wings in Shed

Time to put the wings back in storage until needed again a little later.   It was either that, or build a larger garage.    Instead of returning the wings to the airport for storage, we decided to hang them up in the shed for easier (and quicker) retrieval.  We used some black strapping to tie them up in the rafters, as shown in the pics.  Hours: 2.5
