We finally started working on the Wing covering. We have the wings temporarily stored in our shed, mounted up in the rafters. We brought one of the wings into the garage and started making plans for mounting the wing in our rotisserie stands. We went to our local Home Depot Aviation Supply headquarters and bought some metal tubing to make the wing mounts. While Mike did the cutting of the tubes, Ed did the TIG welding. We used 1" square metal tubing. Once the welding was done we drill holes to match the rotisserie and mounted with AN3 bolts. We also bought foam pipe insulation and placed it on ends that go into the wing spars. We mounted the wings into the rotisserie so that we can begin the covering. The wings were wiped down with Acetone and Isopropyl Alcohol Hours: 5
