Wings attached!

We achieved another milestone by getting both wings attached to the airplane.  Rain was pouring down when we were about to hang the second wing.  We had to wait until the rain let up because the rain pelting the metal roof created so much noise that we couldn't hear each other speak.  But in the end we got both wings installed successfully. 

Wings installed.  Happy Builders.

We then installed an aluminum cap strip across the gap between the windshield and sunroof.  We had attached some thin neoprene gasket to the underside of the strip before installing to help keep it weather tight.

Next, we adjusted the newly vented fuel caps so that they fit snugly in the tanks, and inserted them into the empty fuel ports at the top of each wing.  Hours: 8
