The last few days have been spent deburring and prepping all of the ribs for priming. \u00a0Here are all of the ribs drying after being etched.<\/p>\n

\nAnd here is a shot of one set of ribs drying after being primed.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center>
\nI protected the spar bars with some blue tape. \u00a0I really should stop using this stuff. \u00a0It comes off without leaving any residue on every surface except anodized aluminum. \u00a0I had to use some solvent to get all the gunk off the spar after riveting.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

We didn’t get any pictures during the process, but my buddy Andre stopped by today and we shot and bucked all of the rivets that attach the ribs to the main spars. \u00a0We used a straight set and simply flexed the ribs out of the way while shooting. \u00a0130 rivets and not a single smiley or bad shop head. \u00a0Here, I’m clecoing the rear spar in place so we can hang up the wings.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center>
\nHere’s a good shot of the whole wing. \u00a0The four closely spaced ribs at the bottom are for the wing walk. \u00a0There will be a double thick layer of skin over these four ribs to handle the load of people walking here.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center>
\nHere are the wings permanently mounted in the cradle. \u00a0I still need to level and straighten them, but that will have to wait until another day. \u00a0My wife’s heading to Hawaii in a couple of days with a friend and I want to spend some quality time with her before she leaves.<\/p>\n
