After vacations and holidays we're finally getting back to working on the wings. The transitions between ribs and spars is getting a thin coating of 3M lightweight filler to smooth the transition. Before applying the filler the contact area was sanded and cleaned with acetone. In addition to the rib/spar transitions, the area round the lift strut attach bracket was sanded and cleaned, as well as the area around the jury strut bracket. We are also adding filler to the openings around the flap/aileron attach brackets. We added tape to the outside of the gap and applied the filler from the inside (see picture). Hours: 1.5
