About 1:30 this afternoon, the FedEx freight guy showed up with my wing kit.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center>
\nMy buddy Dan dropped by to help me unpack the boxes since I didn’t have room in the garage to store them. \u00a0This is the box containing all of the skins, ribs, tips, etc.<\/p>\n

\nAnd this long box contains the spars and most of the hardware.<\/p>\n

\nCracking open the first crate.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center>
<\/center>After unpacking both crates, the benches and floor are covered in parts. \u00a0My buddy Andre dropped by later in the evening to give me a hand inventorying the kit.<\/p>\n

\nMain wing ribs on the left and leading edge ribs on the right. \u00a0These things are seriously distorted (this is normal). \u00a0It will take a lot of fluting and tweaking before these are completely flat.<\/p>\n

\nInventorying the hardware. \u00a0The are a lot more components in the wing kit. \u00a0I had to hang up a second set of organizer drawers to hold all of the parts.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center>
\nSpars laid out on the benches. \u00a0This things are truly works of art. \u00a0It’s a shame that these will never be seen on the completed airplane.<\/p>\n
