Wings Arrived!

About 1:30 this afternoon, the FedEx freight guy showed up with my wing kit.

My buddy Dan dropped by to help me unpack the boxes since I didn’t have room in the garage to store them.  This is the box containing all of the skins, ribs, tips, etc.

And this long box contains the spars and most of the hardware.

Cracking open the first crate.

After unpacking both crates, the benches and floor are covered in parts.  My buddy Andre dropped by later in the evening to give me a hand inventorying the kit.

Main wing ribs on the left and leading edge ribs on the right.  These things are seriously distorted (this is normal).  It will take a lot of fluting and tweaking before these are completely flat.

Inventorying the hardware.  The are a lot more components in the wing kit.  I had to hang up a second set of organizer drawers to hold all of the parts.

Spars laid out on the benches.  This things are truly works of art.  It’s a shame that these will never be seen on the completed airplane.
